"""Standard interfaces. Deprecated in favor of adapters.

.. note::

  The `implements` selector used to match not only entity classes but also their
  interfaces. This will disappear in a future version. You should define an
  adapter for that interface and use `adaptable('MyIFace')` selector on appobjects
  that require that interface.
