[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-619) Attach action and function signatures to terms, i.e. make a term definition an interface definition

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=63777#comment-63777 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-619:
-------------------------------------

We now have the ability to treat a type as an interface (including bound actions/functions) by casting to that type.

I would prefer to keep terms as "lightweight" annotations and not add new operational semantics.
