[stringtemplate-interest] ST# - question regarding specialcasingof IList

[PATERSON, Robert]

In the Java version of ST, I think specific collection types (HashMap)
were chosen in favour of the more generic Map interface to avoid people
breaking the ST 'view only' model by implementing the interface with
putters and getters that have side effects. IIRC.

Regards,

Rob Paterson
