Determine the type of the elements generated by iterating a collection of the given `type`.
For dictionary types, this will be a `Pair{KeyType,ValType}`. The definition
`eltype(x) = eltype(typeof(x))` is provided for convenience so that instances can be passed
instead of types. However the form that accepts a type argument should be defined for new
types.
