Re: generic List<>

Only removal of collection items while using the IEnumerator interface is
not supported.  You can enumerate a collection in other ways, without
creating a new collection and copying a bunch of references.

For example:
 for (int i = (myObjects.Count - 1); i >= 0; --i)
 {
  myObjects mo = myObjects[i];
  if (mo.CanBeRemoved)
  {
   myObjects.Remove(mo);
  }
 }
