Jean-marc, I completely understand your frustration with the lack of "standard" data types like double linked lists, maps, stacks etc. I also had the same problem at first. However in general I have found that looking for these types meant I was trying to solve the problem in a way which is not the best way in a functional language, and that there were other ways of solving the same problem - often more elegantly.
So I suggest you describe to the group, at a higher level, what kinds of problems you are trying to solve where you feel these data types are necessary. It may be that there are better ways of solving the problem without them. Or it may be that these types are really needed and things like johns rb tree should be suggested as standard or atleast common libraries (such as in functx). ---------------------------------------- David A.
