      This is a minor bug; the error message given when accidentally declaring an
      interface inside of a block is wrong, since the keyword interface is never
      syntactically a modifier.

      class Hello {
        void foo() {
          interface I {}
        }
      }

      Hello.java:3: modifier interface not allowed here
          interface I {}
          ^
      1 error

      Instead, it should be something along the lines of:
      Hello.java:3: keyword interface not allowed here
