Agree, I have the problem of writing "tupple" in all comments and
documentations. It's a weird word indeed =)

Hey, I know!

t = python.util.ImmutableArrayList.fromCollection(L.getAbstractCollection())

python.util.functional.applyFunctionOnCollection(
    (class implements python.util.functional.AnonymousFunction:
        def anonymousFunction(x):
            return x+1
    ), L)
