Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now in a project I'm working on I have a class that does the calls, so it gets a ModelInterface and returns a ModelInterface which is the Hydramember.
Then the code inspector complains that I call methods like getHydratotalItems() and getHydramember() on a ModelInterface object.

I think those methods should be described in an interface so they don't have to be redefined in all InlineResponse, most of the stuff there could even be moved to a base class so we have less code duplication.
And also the we can pass all those classes to a method to handle calls like I'm trying to do.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an interface that defines the InlineResponse objects and maybe a base class for them also.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Just adding the interface.

Research direction

No files, tests, or generator entry points are named. Start by locating the Java InlineResponse implementations and the generation templates that produce them, then determine the shared methods and scope of any base class; done means generated InlineResponse types share the requested interface and callers can use those methods without redefinition.
