Is that the best way to build a map for a type that only handles length and item(x) :

/**
 * Applies the given [transform] to each of the Nodes from the NodeList
 *
 */
inline fun <R> NodeList.map(transform: (Node) -> R): List<R> {
    val array = ArrayList<R>(this.length)
    for (n in 0 until this.length)
        array[n] = transform(this.item(n))
    return array
}

I guess you cannot make that NodeList implements Iterable<Node>.
What do you think about idea to implement asIterable() extension function:

fun NodeList.asIterable(): Iterable<Node> = object : Iterable<Node> { /* ... */ }

So that you can use all functions from std lib (like map and filter) for your collection?

nodeList.asIterable().map { /* ... */ }

hmmm NodeList is org.w3c.dom.NodeList
