    #I'm not exaclty sure what you're saying...Do you mean being able to use
    #properties in lists (And therefore be able to set them), or do you mean
    #being able to specify a list element by the element itself?  Or something
    #else?
    #Maybe it's just me, but I'm confused :)

    I think Kipp wants to do a slightly PERLish thing ... come to think
    of it, there are many PERL features for list/array manipulation that
    would come in really handy.

    BTW, your first hypothesis is right.
