I took a quick look at the GTK4 sources, and I do not see an implementation
of the Collection interface there. The new ATSPI implementation in WebKit
loosely follows its structure, so I *suppose* that's the reason why the
Collection interface was not implemented yet.

I tried Accerciser on a few GTK4 applications (Text Editor, Extensions,
GNOME Setting, Amberol) and indeed I cannot see the Collection interface
being implemented anywhere. Does Orca work with GTK4 applications at all
in this regard? 

(Also please bear with me, I am far from being an expert in a11y, but at
least I understand some bits these days due to helping out with reviewing
the new ATSPI implementation in WebKit =])
