IDictionary really isn't special cased as far as enumerability/multi-value
is concerned. It's constituent values can be enumerated.

If by "you need only target IEnumerable." you meant "all IEnumerable must
always be treated as ILists currently are", then I disagree. On the other
hand, IEnumerables can already be enumerated in ST#.

If you place assorted collection objects (i.e. ICollection/IList/IEnuerable
etc) as attributes into ST#, you should find that it behaves predictably.
Including the enumeration of IEnumerables behaviour you are interested in.
