The thing is (that he didn't really take the time to explain), we could have accomplished the same thing without introducing yet another reserved word. Modules could take structs or classes as ports and you'd have the same benefit as interfaces. interfaces are redundant and introduce unnecessary complexity and confusion. In my experience designers love the idea of interfaces too. Far easier to replicate signals down through a module hierarchy if all modules can use the same interface. Designers too get frustrated that interfaces are not just modules or structs though.
