After having thought about this a bit, I would say that an equivalent of C++s function classes is missing. If function classes were introduced, we could build pretty powerful algorithms traversing the different containers and f.ex. implement an infinite list (also called lazy list) container. Right now the containers only allow for a procedure to process the elements of a container. Regards, - Mark Lorenzen
