Remarks

---

Many interfaces and classes in the System.Collections.Generic namespace inherit the IEnumerable<T> interface to implement enumerators. For an example, see the ICollection<T> interface.

Notes to Implementers

IEnumerable<T> is included for parity with non-generic collections; implementing IEnumerable<T> allows a generic collection to be passed to a method that expects an IEnumerable object.
