That doesn't seem like a very good idea to me. Bug fixes are more
important that feature requests, and should be dealt with seperately
to make that distinction clear.

No, not really. I was just making a joke. The two things that make
linked-lists useful are efficient insertion and deletion. If the native
language were to support these kinds of vanilla commands:

insert myItem into myList at myIndex
delete myIndex in myList

then I couldn't care less about what the actual data structure being
used is.
