If you can spare enough memory for a copy of a list, you can do
anything you want by just processing it sequentially  inserting
whatever  you need in a temp one, linear time, and then copying the
temp into the original, linear time again, with any type of array
which is not passed by value ( like deep copying, not passing a
pointer-like thing by value ), like lua tables ( C++ containers are
the only ones that come to mind which can be easily passed by value ).
