I think this mis-states the situation. Collections are
not treated as "legacy". Instead a new framework is
being offered (interposed), that is most appropriate
for dense (streamy/listy) sources, that are often collections.

So one useful goal is to have consistent rules that apply in these
situations, not necessarily for all possible uses of all possible
collections/arrays/maps/aggregates.
