I think so too...

True, I was talking about implementing a "list" or "tree" data structure
like an array. But you can change the size of an array by copying the
data to a temporary array, redefining the original to be the new size,
then copying the data back. A macro for this woud be useful, and will be
added to the next version of my macro collection.

Maybe, but I don't know what use they would be in this kind of a
language, or even if it would be possible to implement them easily.
Perhaps after the rewrite for 4.0.
