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.
