Right. The `list` argument *could* be a Collection, but I wanted to narrow
down the scope of this utility to combining parent's and child's styleables in
one efficient call. I thought having it accept a List (as returned by
{Parent}.getClassCssMetaData()) and not some random Collection might be a
better design.
