Interfaces are checked at parse time. I'm very sure you need to include
the interface description before you can implement it. That makes it
explicit. My example doesn't need any interface description, the
interface of "wiggle()" is implicit.

I only put that there for fun. I could have skipped the check entirely.
Then it would be expected that the wiggle() method existed. If the
method doesn't exist then at run time the script will stop-- fortunately
with a fatal error :)
