I have something, I want something that implements IWhatever. Now, it may well be that something implements IWhatever, but it may also not. As the author of the code in question, I don't want to have to care. Other authors can plug in adapters for the cases where something doesn't implement IWhatever
I can appreciate the use case but not the semantics - you are not looking for an adapter but an implementation. I guess this is related to the IWhatever(object) approach which does the magic for you. I guess queryProvider(object, interface) would be a better spelling for that use case, which may be more general than I'm suggesting.
