java.lang.Record as Interface

[Brian Goetz]

Yes, it was dropped.  The balance of benefit and incremental complexity 
did not seem to work out, because the set of use cases for which this 
would work seemed pretty limited.

We did leave room to support _abstract records_, with a constraint that 
a record's parenting be "abstract records all the way up", but we're not 
actively pursuing this one right now.
