Well, we already have a precedent for this - the 'Sets' module.

So if we use the same naming convention ...

For discrete types:

    Lists
    Dicts
    Tuples
    Sets

for interfaces:

    Iterators
    Iterables

and for a catch-all

    Objects

Then we just have to argue over what goes where ;)
