I think the API should be kept as small as possible. Every environment
member has to be designed, maintained, etc. If we add vector, list, and
hash table functions, why stop there? Why not add buffer and string
functions? Or process and network functions? I think new functions should
only be added if they either solve a problem that could not be solved
otherwise, or the replacement code would be very awkward, or there is a
proven significant efficiency gain.
