	// this assignment is correctly illegal:
	//	*Implementation does not implement p.Exported (missing p.private method)
	// px = new(Implementation)

	// this assignment is correctly illegal:
	//	p.Exported does not implement Exported (missing private method)
	// x = px

	// this assignment unexpectedly compiles and then executes
	x = px.(Exported)  // ERROR "does not implement"

	// this is a legitimate call, but because of the previous assignment,
	// it invokes the method private in p!
	x.private()  // p.Implementation.private()
