When an interface with no definition is connected to a module, you get this:
%Error: Internal Error: t/t_missing_interface_bad.v:16: ../V3LinkDot.cpp:375: Unlinked interface
As opposed to this, which you get if the interface is not connected to a module:
%Error: t/t_missing_interface_bad.v:23: Cannot find file containing module: foo_intf
I think the latter should appear in both cases.
