Re: List container: Insert and Delete

I concur - Could you get behind the Booch Components with some modifications
as I suggested? Would you favor the PragmARC with some similar
modifications?

I think we have some agreement that there needs to be a relatively simple
List & Map package - which could be added to any existing library. I think
we might also agree that any library of containers should be able to work
with Streams - which could be a modification to an existing library. I think
we *might* be able to get to a conclusion here if we could agree on a
library, accept Ted's Lists (and eventually, Maps) as an extension, and get
an agreement as to what subprograms should be added to the library's
components so that it would support Streams.

I think we might be able to get volunteers to add the extensions under the
supervision of the library's "owner". If its BC's, would Simon be willing to
supervise/coordinate the changes? If its PragmARC, would Jeffery be willing
to volunteer for this duty?

Personally, I'd opt for the BC's for no other reason than they seem to
already have a fairly wide audience and name recognition. However, I could
live with PragmARC if there is some strong consensus that it is a better
choice technically.
