Remarks

This interface combines the original IList(T) interface with several IListSource(T), ISinkList(T), IArray(T) and several additional methods (e.g. RemoveAll, InsertRange).

IArray{T} (a version of IListSource{T} that adds the writability of an array) and ISinkList{T} are largely subsets of the IList(T) interface. IListSource has two methods that IList(T) does not (TryGet() and Slice()), while ICollectionEx{T} adds RemoveAll and AddRange.

Just as Iterator scans a collection faster than IEnumerator, TryGet() is intended to accelerate access to a list at a specific index; see IListSource{T} for more information. TryGet() may be called in different ways, through extension methods with the same name.

Using Impl.ListExBase{T} as your base class can help you implement this interface more easily.
