While we are at collections and arrays, it is worth noting that the
{coll.length} attribute is a misnomer.  I would always ask for {coll.count}
when I was learning and meditate upon why it did not work.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of response here, so I'm replying
to myself here, just to keep this issue active.

I did a little more research and found that the misconception is more
common that I thought: DOM objects that have indexed properties are
often mistaken for arrays. This is the "misconception" that I found
documented in HTML5.
