My current (work) project is using the BCs as the infrastructure for a
(Rose)UML-to-Ada tool of mine called ColdFrame (work in progresss at
http://www.pushface.org/coldframe/). I've used

  Maps as the container for all the instances of a class (keyed by the
  Identifier, the (combination of) attributes that uniquely identify
  instances)

  Collections for dealing with the results of searches

  Sets for ensuring uniqueness when navigating from Collections of one
  class via an association (this was overkill, perhaps)

  Ordered Queues for handling events.

No trace of Stacks, Bags, Rings, Graphs, Trees!
