i have read the paper some time ago, and found that it's mainly useful to
enforce implementation of certain classes and class relationships.

i guess it helps reasoning about the code, like if you know a facet, and see a
class that implements that facet then you can assume certain things without
checking the whole inheritance tree.

i didn't see it helping in writing any less code, and i guess that is part of
why it didn't get used more.

i am curious how your work relates to facets, and what you are trying to achieve.

greetings, martin.
