[nem-en] list not enumerable

[Kamil Skalski]

Yes. S.C.G.ICollection is designed for mutable collections with random
index access - acutally all methods / properties it defines are either
not supported by immutable lists (Remove, Insert, Add : 'a -> void) or
are preformance expansive and discouraged (Count, Item[])

We would need to throw exceptions inside those methods and give slow
implementation for methods people are quite used to (Count, indexer),
so I guess it is better to just disallow this at all.
