Improve iterable typing (1)

[cdce8p]

Proposed change

Iterable doesn't have a __len__ method. This could lead to cases where a variable typed as Iterable is always true.

def func(var: Iterable[str]) -> None:
    if var:
        ...

If func would be called with a Generator, a valid input, the if-clause would always be true. In practice, most often func is only called with things like list, tuple, or set. For these Collection is a better base type as it includes __len__.

Mypy will soon be able to emit a specific warning: python/mypy#13762
