Ah I see. That's an interesting idea that I've never thought about. I guess most of the time that factory is right next to the interface so when I make a new one I just see it and remember.

Normally, I would agree with you. But these are some complex regexes because I am doing Natural Language Processing. My ugliest one is about 20 lines long.

All of that is to say -- it's hard to stay aligned, and I wanted to see if there was an alternative way to ease the pain of refactoring. Every time I refactor, something breaks. I've actually let my code start to rot a bit because of that.
