Subject: List container: Insert and Delete

Sorry, but I want to draw attaention to a post I have made (which may have
got lost in another thread for some readers) in which I hopefully demolish
the idea that Insert or Delete is needed in a list container. You don't need
a 'Position' type (you have an implicit position in the list object itself).
All the horrible shinanigans related to insert and delete can and should be
completely avoided. I'll re-post my demo of why, if you like. Again, I
implore you not to make this terrible design mistake (and I'm sure it is).
To use one of my amusing analogies, it's a bit like watching people having
an earnest discussion of whether to have 10 or 12 wings on a jet fighter.

Best wishes,
Nick Roberts
