The next release of the BCs will say

  <dt>Lists; to use or not to use?</dt>

  <dd>

  Many people, faced with the BCs for the first time, choose Lists
  (Single or Double) as their standard Container.

  <p>This is probably <em>not</em> the best choice. Lists are complex
  entities which, I suppose, would be useful if you were implementing a
  list-processing engine like Lisp.
