good collections standard library #53

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice to have a good set of collections classes in the Plaid 
standard library.  The Java ones aren't ideal and they're a good demonstration 
for the language.  Inspiration should come partly from Smalltalk, e.g. see 
William Cook's paper for some examples:

But, of course, unlike Smalltalk we should have more immutable collections, and 
stateful collections should have states.
