Hello,

currently, the PyUNO bridge converts tuples and lists by converting each element to Any and then constructing a list of []Any. This is not what many functions expect and leads to a suboptimal experience, e.g. when using XPropertySet.setPropertyValue:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125307

A lazy grep through the sdk/idl gives
80 uses of []Any ( rgrep 'sequence< *any' sdk/idl | wc -l )
220 uses of []String ( rgrep 'sequence< *string' sdk/idl  | wc -l )

but that isn't really what this is about, it's about what sequence types are expected when an any is passed.

My intuition would be that the more specific type is better when applicable, but I would value your input whether such a change would be considered an improvement.

Best regards

Thomas
