Great! Thanks for taking the time to set this up.

I wrote a partial implementation of Lists.Unbounded based on SAL.
Should we find a way to get that into the Grace CVS? Or maybe just a
link to it, since we probably don't want all or part of SAL in the
Grace CVS.

There was some discussion of test code for the Lists.Unbounded
package. I strongly recommend including test code with the library, so
users that implement their own, or use it on a new platform or new
compiler have some way of knowing that it works. The test code also
serves as a more precise definition of the semantics of the package. I
can contribute the test code I have.

I signed up on the Grace lists a couple weeks ago :).
