O.K., I can live with that too! :-)

Either way, you get a list structure that isn't too horribly complicated to
use. I don't find that many uses for limited private types now that we've
got finalization, so I'd be happier with a private formal. (No extra work).
But if we have really strong feelings on the other side of it, I can get
over having to define an Assign procedure. Lets shoot for private and see if
any serious limited fans come out of the woodwork.
