I agree that interfaces are the only way to provide access to a modules types, but I don't think that is their only purpose. They are also for grouping and organizing related access.
> > and what is the I would suggest that for most of the patterns they don't have any other logical grouping - the access being allowed is private to the module. These audit rules seem different. The access is really about allowing a domain access to the audit subsystem. It is not simply private access that cannot be further grouped. That the access is allowed purely via permissions on module private types is an unimportant implementation detail. So, taking the broader definition of interfaces as grouping related access, it seems natural to make these audit interfaces and put them in logging.if.
