// here means the IL isinst and castclass instructions in the case where they are given an interface
// type as the target type.
//
// A return value of true indicates the cast is valid.
//
// If false is returned when this is called as part of a castclass then the usual InvalidCastException
// will be thrown unless an alternate exception is assigned to the castError output parameter. This
// parameter is ignored on successful casts or during the evaluation of an isinst (which returns null
// rather than throwing on error).
//
// No exception should be thrown from this method (it will cause unpredictable effects, including the
// possibility of an immediate failfast).
//
// The results of this call are not cached, so it is advisable to provide a performant implementation.
//
// The results of this call should be invariant for the same class, interface type pair. That is
// because this is the only guard placed before an interface invocation at runtime. If a type decides
// it no longer wants to implement a given interface it has no way to synchronize with callers that
// have already cached this relationship and can invoke directly via the interface pointer.

// the given interface type in the interface map of this object.
//
// It allows the implementor to return an alternate class type which does implement the interface. The
// interface lookup shall be performed again on this type (failure to find the interface this time
// resulting in a fail fast) and the corresponding implemented method on that class called instead.
//
// Naturally, since the call is dispatched to a method on a class which does not match the type of the
// this pointer, extreme care must be taken in the implementation of the interface methods of this
// surrogate type.
//
// No exception should be thrown from this method (it will cause unpredictable effects, including the
// possibility of an immediate failfast).
//
// There is no error path defined here. By construction all interface dispatches will already have
// been verified via the castclass/isinst mechanism (and thus a call to IsInstanceOfInterface above)
// so this method is expected to succeed in all cases. The contract for interface dispatch does not
// include any errors from the infrastructure, of which this is a part.
//
// The results of this lookup are cached so computation of the result is not as perf-sensitive as
// IsInstanceOfInterface.
