    Description

      15.12.3 says that the invocation mode for a method invocation is 'interface' if

      "the compile-time declaration is in an interface"

      The word "in" could be interpreted in various ways (example: declared by an interface or inherited by an interface?) It would be more precise to say:

      "the qualifying type of the method invocation is an interface"
