I've read about it, but haven't used it: http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/sortedcontainers/ I think a "sort hint" should be a read-only attribute of some collections, and statistics should look for the presence of that.

Burdening list with a vague suggestion about an invariant it doesn't maintain is a bad idea. >
