Actually, I used maps rather than lists.

In many ways it isn't.  One thing to bear in mind is that the fruitbowl
example is primarily an illustration of how to get data in and out of
Mercury from C#.  That example doesn't really do anything with the data
once it has been passed to Mercury.  An actual program would have some
code in Mercury that did something using the fruit data.
