Summary: Add allItems() and allIndexes() methods to collections.

Initial Comment:
The collection classes would be a lot more usable if they all had methods to return all of the indexes and all of the items held in the collections.  Makearray is useful, but it only returns one or the other and it varies between the collections.  This should be added to the stem class as well.

All of the collection classes now have ALLITEMS and ALLINDEXES methods. 
These methods return an array of all items or index values in the
collection.  These arrays may contain duplicates, depending on the type of
collection. 

I think array deserves a special note that only index values that contain
items will be returned (that is, if the array is sparse, empty slots are
skipped).

Also, I think it might be useful to change the documentation of the
different MAKEARRAY methods for the collections to indicate whether the
value returned is the result of ALLITEMS (array, list, queue, set, bag) or
ALLINDEXES (table, directory, stem, relation).
