I agree with this. Every time I see MList, it gets parsed as ML-ist (like duelist or trombonist) rather than M-List, and it takes me time to remember what the heck an ML-ist is... My vote would go for a longer more descriptive name such as Mutable_List (+0.9) or Mut_List (+0.6). Besides, aren't long, commonly used identifiers why jeebus invented keyboard macros? William D.
