Hello,
while upgrading from 7.5.0 to 7.8.0 we no longer find the collection AIS_SequenceOfInteractive available.

While it could easily be restored, I'm asking the reason of such a deletion!

It has be found to be not efficient or something else?
Do you have any suggestion for its replacement?

Thanks a lot,
Federico Pelloni

Semantic of NCollection_Sequence with an interface for accessing elements in list-alike structure by index is misleading and dangerous. Hense, it's usage is discouraged in OCCT and within applications. NCollection_List or std::vector are better suits.

Of course you may still define sequence on your own, if you prefer using it for some reason (like preserving legacy code as is).
