Robert, said append and prepend were like, really really optimized.
And for-statements as well..

So, Robert (or Junko now it seems  again, could there be some 'extra'
optimization with statement blocks like for- and while- . Esspecially when
they contain only one statement. (which should be fairly easy to optimize).
But I was also thinking of multiple 'slices'/'indexes' to be looked up only
once, within a statement block. And off couse the "for each item in
my-sequence do" - syntax provides both optimization 'oppertunities' as well
as increased error checking, and more readable code.
