[stringtemplate-interest] Support or interface Iterable

[John Snyders]

That explains it, thanks.
I didn't notice that Iterable was new in 1.5. That makes sense since it
seems to go hand in hand with the new foreach syntax.

At least some parts of stringtemplate are generated from ANTLR so is it
possible/difficult to have a 1.5 version of StringTemplate spit out? Are
there other things worth taking advantage of? Probably most new things don't
impact the StringTemplate implementation.
