When using a type-mapping for the lists and array to IEnumerable or ICollection, the option implicit cast does not work. Using command line argument --type-mapping=list=IEnumerable,array=IEnumerable
Describe the solution you'd like
Something like in modelGeneric.mustache because implicit casts are not allowed if the type is an interface.
-public {{{datatypeWithEnum}}}{{#lambda.first}}{{#isNullable}}{{>NullConditionalProperty}} {{/isNullable}}{{^required}}{{nrt?}}{{^nrt}}{{#vendorExtensions.x-is-value-type}}?{{/vendorExtensions.x-is-value-type}}{{/nrt}} {{/required}}{{/lambda.first}} {{#lambda.titlecase}}{{baseType}}{{/lambda.titlecase}} {{#required}}{ get; {{^isReadOnly}}set; {{/isReadOnly}}}{{/required}}{{^required}}{ get { return this.{{#lambda.titlecase}}{{name}}{{/lambda.titlecase}}Option; } {{^isReadOnly}}set { this.{{#lambda.titlecase}}{{name}}{{/lambda.titlecase}}Option = new{{^net70OrLater}} Option<{{{datatypeWithEnum}}}{{>NullConditionalProperty}}>{{/net70OrLater}}(value); } {{/isReadOnly}}}{{/required}}

I can of course duplicate the modelGeneric.template, but this is quite a large template, I'd rather not maintain that and keep it check with new versions.
The other solution it to add some extra configuration to also support interface type collections. Although relying on implicit casts in general for the option types is probably not a good idea in general.
Additional context
Collection is a type that is hard to use because it's sort of separate to all the other Collections. ICollection would be better honestly. We would like to use IEnumerable since mapping those to other collections in auto-generated mapper code is much easier.
