Re: Project lead nominations for standard libraries?

If we want to do #, insert and remove for linear lists only, we don't
need the current # definition for [n]~=nil and [n+1]==nil at all,
which does imply usage on non-lists. Since for lists its trivial and I
dare say possibly even more efficient to keep their length them self.

Might, might not be. If we expect more and more from the user - can I
then please also have the += and ?: operators?
