oops, sorry about the misuse of terminology: what I mean is that the
modules and the classes must *implement* the interface. For example, a
skin module must provide a "Window" class that must implement the
IWindow interface. Currently I'm using
zope.interface.verify.verifyObject, and ISkin (the interface that must
be implemented by the module) looks like this:

class ISkin(interface.Interface):
    def Window():
        pass

with this, verifyObject checks that the skin provides the Window
class, but that's all; I'd like for it to check if the Window
implements IWindow. Is that doable? (I know I could do it "by hand"
using several verifies, but I thought I'd ask before doing
that---maintainability would suck)
