   Not entirely true. 4tH has a library called "leaf", which is basically   
   an associated array, having a key, value and link field. I made it   
   originally for indexes to my DBMS - but after careful consideration I   
   found out I didn't need it.

   It is, however, extensively used in the INI file manager. This lib   
   allows you to read *and* modify an INI file. The INI file interpreter   
   just reads one. It's much simpler.   
      
   There's also:

   It may not be much for list addicts, but it's not nothing.
