Just curious, Is there ever a benefit to not providing a GUID in an interface…

An interesting question [WayBack] Just curious,Is there ever a benefit to not providing a GUID in an interface? – Johan Bontes – Google+

The answer is simple: The benefits are almost none and you loose compiler assisted casting ease.

The interesting bits are the discussion where even Embarcadero isn’t sure what kind of magic the compiler does on generic interfaces.
