It is possible, but there is no support currently implemented.

The collection function isn't really "defined" - what it does is very 
"implementation-defined"

I guess you could check out XQEngine.

A number of poeple have asked for implementations of 'collection' or 
'input'.  The problem is that somebody must first *specify* what these 
functions should do.  Since people's needs are different, we may need 
some "plugin" mechanism so people can change the definitions.

If you have a specific need for collection, perhaps you can suggest what 
you think it should do, and we can discuss it here.
