Hey guys, this is a piece of code from Solidity documentation.
These two interfaces Config and NameReg have never been implemented, how could contract named called it? Do I miss something here?
Thx!

The 2 lines of named constructor use addresses. named assumes that the contracts that have already been deployed at those addresses have implemented the interfaces.
config is the contract at 0xd5f9....
config.lookup returns an address so NameReg methods like register can be invoked.
If the contract at 0xd5f9... does not have a lookup method, its fallback function would be invoked. Similar case if the register method doesn't exist on the address returned by config.lookup(1).
