Here is one use example:
http://bondi.omtp.org/1.01/apis/webidl.html

Web IDL (who's editor is Sam Weining I think) has the sequence<T> definition
commented out, but I don't know why: http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/#idl-sequence

Either go with sequence<T> or TArray. For sequence<T>, you'll need to tweak
IDLParser.pm a bit (see below). For TArray, you might break bindings that
already use types with Array suffixes. Once Web IDL reach decision, it would
not be hard to substitute one with the other.

 # Magic IDL parsing regular expressions
-my $supportedTypes = "((?:unsigned )?(?:int|short|(?:long
)?long)|(?:$idlIdNs*))";
+my $supportedTypes = "((?:unsigned )?(?:int|short|(?:long
)?long)|(?:sequence<$idlIdNs*>|$idlIdNs*))";

 # Special IDL notations

-$interfaceSelector = 'interface\s*((?:' . $extendedAttributeSyntax . ' )?)(' .
$idlIdNs . '*)\s*(?::(\s*[^{]*))?{([a-zA-Z0-9_=\s(),;:\[\]]*)';
-$interfaceMethodSelector = '\s*((?:' . $extendedAttributeSyntax . ' )?)' .
$supportedTypes . '\s*(' . $idlIdNs . '*)\s*\(\s*([a-zA-Z0-9:\s,=\[\]]*)';
+$interfaceSelector = 'interface\s*((?:' . $extendedAttributeSyntax . ' )?)(' .
