Support serialization of collections that are not lists

So far there was an implicit assumption hard-coded that collections are
always lists. However, sets are also collections, and can be serialized
to JSON arrays just like lists.

This change allows to serialize generic collections independently of the
concrete implementation.

Fixes #1421.
