I don't know whether "vector" is too overloaded (maths, computing) to be 
any indicator of what is really contained there, but I prefer it to 
RefList... This really smacks of the implementation (which is OK if you 
want to make it patent, though). Also, I was happy with any of the 
M(.)+List suggestiongs, but the most criptic MList (sorry Nicolas!), but 
Ialso your right to name your datatype as you think fit.

On the other hand, the question raised by your putting forht "MList" 
still remains: how to go about naming new modules, etc. Have we reached 
and agreement about this with the "small list of rules" discussed this week?
