Our recent experience is that using Java Collections for these kind of 
ideas is a bad move. It has lulled our user community into some really 
bad mistakes; hense the motivation for this proposal.

Okay if I understand you; if we ever care about finding a standard 
interface for these ideas we can go look up coverage stuff. Got it. 
Until then we are on our own and much happier for it.
