As long as it raises the "Youre_Out_Of_Memory_You_Bonehead" exception for me
when it can't add more, I'm happy. Same goes for bounded lists. If you know
the current size and you know how much you asked for, why do you need an
"Is_Full" or anything similar? If you exceed your own constant MAX_ELEMENTS
you deserve to get an exception.

Its a pretty easy function for the end user to add as a child unit (or any
other means) anyway...
