Build on object of an interface type when specifying the constructor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It'd be nice if I could create this:

Builder<IFoo>.CreateNew().WithConstructor(() => new Foo()).Build();

Foo implements IFoo.

The same holds for lists:

var list = Builder<IFoo>.CreateListOfSize(1).WhereAll().AreConstructedUsing(() 
=> new Foo()).Build();


Currently, I have to cast the List<Foo>:

var list = Builder<Foo>.CreateListOfSize(10).Build().Cast<IFoo>.ToList();

Are you sure you're not looking for a mocking framework? I'm not quite sure I 
understand why a POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) should have an interface. I'm 
curious to know what you're doing that has led you to need interfaces on your 
POCOs.

No, I'm not looking for a mocking framework :-)

But, giving this a second thought, the current solution is just badly designed. 
It really should never have been an interface at all. Just needed some distance 
to realise that.

Thanks. Please close this issue.

Cheers
