I don’t know that sequence is appropriate for this. They are meant to be for pass-by-value lists. Is the issue here that you can’t use a base interface because then you would lose some type specificity, e.g. interface Collection { attribute unsigned long length; getter any item(unsigned long index); } where you need to use “any” because you don’t know what the type of the derived interface elements will be? -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
