I don't think so.

But then you can't treat instances of F and I polymorphically. And if
it has no stretch methods, how can we move F instances around? IMHO it
would be nice if F had the Event interface.

Are you worried about F having the misleading attribute "duration"
which actually stores its size? That could be fixed by overloading the
__init__ and __str__ methods.
