First, because it looks ugly :). Somewhere deep down in the wiki we once 
agreed that classes are CamelCase, methods are camelCase and attributes 
are under_scored.

Second, I think interfaceName is yagni, interfaceObject is too long. If 
you really want the name, do method.interface.getName().

So, I'm for making Method.interface the interface object and nothing 
else. Provided that we're not really using it anywhere which I think is 
the case.
