Could you fit in making Map interface a Collection? It is technically
a collection of key-value pairs, and I see no reason why the interface
shouldn't reflect it. :)

Yeah. I agree on that, hence my question in the first mail about
exposing an interface for map entries (that key/value pairs).

How is that possible, the methods' signatures do not match:
 - Collection.add (G item) vs. Map.set (K key, V value)
 - Collection.contains (G item) vs. Map.contains (K key)
 - Collection.remove (K item) vs. Map.remove (K key)

Collection implements Iterable which provides this method: Iterator<G>
iterator () whereas it should be Iterator<Pair<K, V>> iterator () for Map.


The trick is that Map<K, V> would implement interface
Collection<Pair<K, V>>. Unless there is some serious bug in Vala, it
would work perfectly. The .NET framework does it this way and it
always worked perfectly for me.
