Why are these called 'roles' and not 'interfaces'? They seem the same as C++ or Java interfaces.

  For a variety of reasons they're significantly different. Amongst other issues, C++ and Java interfaces provide no implementation, nor do they offer conflict resolution. See the link dagolden provided for an in depth tour of roles (known also as "traits").
