This, very much. F.i. I have all kinds of functions working with "rectangles", like
intersections, collisions checks, grow/shrink/point inclusion etc. etc. but there's
no need to limit the usage to any predefined type. In my case it's just tables and
as long as they contain x/y/width/height key/value pairs, they're valid data.

It's much much more reusable than any OOP/interface construct, no dependency
or coupling of any kind.
