I agree, let's do that.

BTW, regarding the implementation. What about using gl_list ?

##
   The implementations are:
     GL_ARRAY_LIST        a growable array
     GL_CARRAY_LIST       a growable circular array
     GL_LINKED_LIST       a linked list
     GL_AVLTREE_LIST      a binary tree (AVL tree)
     GL_RBTREE_LIST       a binary tree (red-black tree)
     GL_LINKEDHASH_LIST   a hash table with a linked list
     GL_AVLTREEHASH_LIST  a hash table with a binary tree (AVL tree)
     GL_RBTREEHASH_LIST   a hash table with a binary tree (red-black tree)
###

We may use GL_LINKEDHASH_LIST and write wrappers for it (like in the List 
Module).


cheers
