I still say this isn't as good. Even though you don't have to manually type
out the interface the first time,

- if the interface changes (as in the SQL example), you need to manually
  sort it out. With the stubs, you don't.
- it's more work to catch errors. My stub generator will immediately
  complain if there are conflicting methods with the same signature. (Or
  should. It needs more testing.)
- the source code is cluttered up with lots of methods that aren't
  implemented, obscuring what actually does work.
