Two forms:
The first is only for published methods afaik, and that functionality is
meant for framework internal use, so there is no short syntax.
(Lazarus uses this for its streamed messagehandlers, which are streamed as
name)
The second is idispatch, the COM like way, which is used by interfaces to
e.g. office applications and scripting languages.
