I focus on just testing. If there is Joe-E object that rely on these
interfaces, at some point of time it could be desirable to test
whether it works. For this case a mock object have to be created that
implement this interface. However there will be a trouble with
creating this object in Joe-E language. So test implementer has to
escape to Java language even if mock implementation does not require
any unsafe operations.
