An interface can only extend another interface.  This means that
interfaces cannot have any implementation.  A class can implement
any number of interfaces.  Extending a class that implements an
interface just gets you another class.

A class that declares that it implements an interface, but then
only actually implements some of its methods, is an abstract class.
This is perfectly legal.
