Based on some of the text in https://dev.launchpad.net/Collections I am also a 
bit concerned that there's some overlap with our utility IXXXSet classes.

"Which will mean that you can getUtility(IAllFoo) to start working with a 
collection. "

This is functionally identical to getUtility(IFooSet) which is our existing 
pattern for collections (and there's webservice exports for those too).

I'm sure there's a good reason for all of this, but I don't get it I'm afraid, 
can you educate this dunce?
