The reason NSArray/NSMutableArray doesn't work for my purposes is
because there is no way for an object in an NSArray to know where its
position in that NSArray is (unless I'm missing something), and for
that information to remain accurate after the array is modified. This
is a feature that is provided by, for example, the STL with its list
and map templates, through the use of iterator objects.
I realize that Obj-C/Cocoa != C++/STL, but this just seems like a big
omission.

I'm surprised that Cocoa/CoreFoundation doesn't contain some sort of

this
is a rather large hole in the framework. I'm looking for a container
that returns iterators of some sort for each object stored in it, so
that each object knows exactly where it is in the container (making
for
easy deletion, given the object to be deleted).
How do people handle this sort of thing in Cocoa? I'm used to STL's
map, list, et al, which use these sorts of iterators.
Thanks,
