I like the idea of being able to define sequences and arrays in XPIDL.  Sure, we have the two-part array definitions:

void foo(in PRUint32 count, [array, size_is(count)] in nsISupports items);

With sequence and array, we might be able to lose an argument:

void foo(in sequence<nsISupports> itemList);
void bar(in nsISupports[] itemList);

We could even conceivably go to multi-dimensional arrays:

typedef supportsList nsISupports[];
typedef supportsMatrix supportsList[];

void foo(in supportsMatrix itemGrid);

Filing under XPCOM, for lack of a better place.

I'm going to implement just array types in bug 677329.

Sequences are done; arrays are bug 851726.
