The documention Carsten Haese referenced earlier was for the .NET version
of VisualBasic, and shows how to use .NET's IEnumerate and IEnumerable
interfaces.

Maybe Mark Hammond's win32all provides such a magic wrapper, but Cartsen
Haese's example didn't use it.  Instead it provided it own implementation
of the COM IEnumVARIANT interface, the OLE Automation (ie. VisualBasic
6 compatable) way implementing iteratable objects.
