' The Triangle class implements the IShape
'   interface and the Polygon interface.
'   An inner Polygon object is maintained,
'   and many activities are delegated
'   (drawing, storage of points, and so
'   on).  The Triangle class's own
'   interface has only one method.

Implements IShape
Implements Polygon

' The inner Polygon object actually holds
'   the data and does most of the work.
'   The Triangle keeps references to both
'   the Polygon interface and the IShape
'   interface of the inner Polygon.

' -------------------------------------
' This marks the beginning of the

' ------ ----------------   draw a shape,

' ====== --------       the reduced call
'   overhead of a method called on an

'   on the IShape interface (used to show
'   polymorphism and early binding), one on
'   its own interface (used to show late
'   binding), and this one.  This one is
'   a side effect of the fact that Rectangle
'   implements the Polygon interface; it's
'   not used for anything.
