Abstract
Embodiments are directed to providing a simulation of a type-level construct on an interface instance and to maintaining a token-based event handling system. In one scenario, a computer system instantiates an interface instance that includes an instance object and multiple instance members. The computer system also instantiates a separate typed object which is configured to maintain one or more simulated type-level parameterized constructors. The computer system then associates the instantiated interface instance with the separate typed object. The typed object routes method invocations from the interface instance to various simulated type-level parameterized constructors and static members of the type.
