[stringtemplate-interest] ST# - question regardingspecialcasingof IList

[Jeremy Gray]

The short answer is yes. ST# could treat as multi-valued anything that
implements IEnumerable.

With that in mind, for those objects that support more than IEnumerable
there is also nothing to stop ST# from allowing both of the following,
the first of which I understand from a recent mailing list post is
currently not possible:

$list.Count$
$list:template()$

Are you asking why ST# doesn't treat all attributes whose value is of a
type
that implement IEnumerable as multi-valued?
