They are not needed, because there is no static typing.

I don't feel like going into any more detail, because there
was a thread about this exact matter only three days ago.

The subject was “Abstract class or interface?”,
the Message-ID <3kcitkFtrl19U1@individual.net>,
and the index [ruby-talk:149198].

What do you call those ruby-talk tags, by the way?

    Am I waiting for RMS to do this?   --TTN.
