Some adapters which take a Scheme type and return a collection could do
this, presumably within the bounds of the current 44 spec, although I
haven't tried to prove that to myself.  Would that approach satisfy you, or
do you think that the collection procedures should be able to operate
directly on "unwrapped" Scheme types?
