yeah, but I AM forward declaring an interface. It just happens to be in
a module (the declaration syntax for declaring an interface within a
module is
module xxx {
 interface yyy;
};
from p.102 of my copy of the same book (probably later edition)).

Anyway, the IDL DOES compile to code, it just creates dodgy code in this
case (IMO).
