Cool.

Right. Interfaces provide an __adapt__ method ala PEP 246.  If you  
have an implementation of the PEP 246 adapt function, then interfaces  
should work with it.

No.  PEP 246 doesn't specify a protocol __call__ method so I don't  
feel bound by it.  I never considered it a use case to be able to  
override __adapt__ for interfaces.  If you want to do that, then  
you'll have to override __call__ as well.  Do you want to override  
__adapt__? If so, why?
