I do like MutList and also MutableList...

I would strongly object to ListMutable... The order doesn't look right 
for an English-lexicalized language (even if it is designed and managed 
in French ;) )

PD: Just my two cents... Back in the days when I learnt Lisp I used to 
browse the grammar and got really p....d when I read things like <sexp> 
to stand for "symbolic expression"... To me the thing parsed from the 
other end! (I was at University... You may be forgiving here!)... This 
gave me some funny ideas about the people who had designed the language 
and what they intended with it! X) F.V.
PDD: This is not to imply that MList parses *in any way similar* to 
"sexp" X) X) X) F.
