	XThis is a dynamically loaded extension which extends This.java and adds 
	support for the generalized interface proxy mechanism introduced in 
	JDK1.3.  XThis allows bsh scripted objects to implement arbitrary 
	interfaces (be arbitrary event listener types).

	Note: This module relies on new features of JDK1.3 and will not compile
	with JDK1.2 or lower.  For those environments simply do not compile this
	class.

	Eventually XThis should become simply This, but for backward compatability
	we will maintain This without requiring support for the proxy mechanism.
