ℹ️Use of interfaces

Why do generated types implements an interface?

• First, because we can't use implicit conversion, we need to have some way to access the underlying value.

• Second, to respect the open-close principle, we want developers to be able to add new functionality to their value object without having to modify the sources of the Typely generator.

• Third, the use of interface reduces the redundancy such as for example converters. The same reason why Microsoft added the feature Generic Math with interfaces like INumber<T> over primitive types.
