First you find Lines, then you find Clear. It is very helpful. :)

Your idea of using interface for method delegation is actually good.
It is actually the only elegant way to duplicate those methods on
TMemo.
I like the idea of extending LCL components instead of only imitating
VCL like a monkey ... which brings us to FireMonkey ... Delphi itself
moved to a more modern library design already.

Using interfaces in a library requires proper design and thinking.
Interfaces must be created for core functionality and injected to many
classes. It is certainly doable. Java did it.
Lots of effort is required to do it properly though.
