[gtkmm] gtkmm3 speculation: intermediate types.

[murrayc t-online de (Murray Cumming)]

By "gtkmm3" I mean "some future API break". That might mean, "gtkmm 2.2"
or "gtkmm 2.4", and I might not necessarily mean the "next" API break.
Nothing is going to change soon.

I'm not very comfortable with our use of intermediate types in the API:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch03s05.html

People don't know how to use them unless they read the book or reference
documentation.

I think their advantage (You can choose whether to use a list, vector,
or whatever, instead of us choosing for you) doesn't outweigh the
disadvantage (they make the API less clear, and people might we're
stupid enough to implement non-standard containers). Please discuss.
