/** Type class witnessing that a collection representation type `Repr` has
 *  elements of type `A` and has a conversion to `GenTraversableOnce[A]`.
 *
 *  This type enables simple enrichment of `GenTraversableOnce`s with extension
 *  methods which can make full use of the mechanics of the Scala collections
 *  framework in their implementation.
 *
 *  Example usage,
 * {{{
 *    class FilterMapImpl[A, Repr](val r: GenTraversableOnce[A]) {
 *      final def filterMap[B, That](f: A => Option[B])(implicit cbf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That]): That = {
 *        val b = cbf()
 *        for(e <- r.seq) f(e) foreach (b +=)
 *        b.result
 *      }
 *    }
 *    implicit def filterMap[Repr, A](r: Repr)(implicit fr: IsTraversableOnce[Repr]): FilterMapImpl[fr.A,Repr] =
 *      new FilterMapImpl[fr.A, Repr](fr.conversion(r))
 *
 *    val l = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
 *    List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) filterMap (i => if(i % 2 == 0) Some(i) else None)
 *    // == List(2, 4)
