You mean, the way we have default implementations of all the old editor
functions that are overridden only as necessary? One could argue that no-op
default receiver implementations are deceptive to drivers of the interface.
But then, the Ev2 driver can't legitimately expect any particular behavior
from the Ev2 implementation itself, so... *shrug*. I say "+1 on no-op
default receiver functions".
