What i wanted is not the "best" way to implement lists. I just wanted to 
explore this way. The strong OOP orientation is due to the fact that i 
tried this example after a discussion with one of my student arguing 
that Ada is too complex compared to Java. I wanted to explore '� la 
Java' solutions.
