Certainly it goes farther at abstracting things than I would if I were just slamming together a linked list package for my own quick-and-dirty use. (I'd never bother with iterators, for example - just create some Next/Prev/EOList subprograms and get to work. :-) I still don't think that would rule out the BCs from being the "Standard" data structure package - but I'd want to see some extensions to it first.
