Makes sense. And I guess we don't want to call ObjCInterfaceDecl
ObjCClassDecl since that collides for our name for the @class node,
unless we renamed that to ObjCForwardClassDecl (which would, however,
be consistent with ObjCForwardProtocolDecl).

Great, thanks for taking this on, I think it will make the ObjC AST
nodes much more pleasant to work with.
