/**
\class TVirtualCollectionProxy
\brief Defines a common interface to inspect/change the contents of an object that represents a collection

Specifically, an object of a class that derives from TVirtualCollectionProxy relays accesses to any object that
matches the proxied collection type.
The interface provides two families of functions: (i) for direct manipulation, e.g. `Insert()` or `At()`; and
(ii) iterator-based, e.g. `GetFunctionCreateIterators()` or `GetFunctionNext()`.
TVirtualCollectionProxy objects are stateful; in particular, many functions require to set the object to operate
on via `PushProxy()` / `PopProxy()`.  The `TPushPop` RAII class is provided for convenience.
A collection proxy for a given class can be permanently set using `TClass::CopyCollectionProxy()`.
The `Generate()` function should be overridden in derived classes to return a clean object of the most-derived class.
