IEnumerable<T>.Select ?

[Hendrik Grützmacher]

hello,

with version 2 i finally started using spring4d. starting with collections i wonder if there is a direct way to use Select on IEnumerable<T>, not only via TEnumerable.Select ?

i saw old code from spring4d v1 where it was possible. maybe i just missed one unit ...

thank you

Unfortunately, interfaces cannot have methods with generic parameters such as Select which has to specify the target type of the performed transformation.

I experimented with an approach using a record instead of interfaces which enables methods with generic parameters but that turned out to cause a lot of trouble with the compiler producing lots of code bloat and skyrocketing compiletimes.
