Improve Support for data lists #588

badcel commented 2 years ago

Verify if IEnumerable and / or support for foreach can be added for the following elements:

[ ] GLib.Array
[ ] GLib.Sequence
[ ] GLib.SList
[ ] GLib.List
[ ] Gio.ListModel
[ ] Gio.FileEnumerator

IEnumerable
ICollection
IReadOnlyCollection
...

sample API:
