However, I haven't started all the wheels in motion, because I'm
unsure if its worth the effort.

I need to know:
a) the quality of the SableUtil code
b) how much code do we lack from having the features that SableUtil has
c) does it make any sense to finish the work on our Collection API

I haven't had time to gather all this information.  I do know that
SableUtil isn't 100% compatible with the Collection API, and they
only implement the following classes:

AbstractCollection.java               List.java
AbstractList.java                     ListIterator.java
AbstractMap.java                      Map.java
AbstractSequentialList.java           NoCast.java
AbstractSet.java                      Set.java
Cast.java                             SplayTreeMap.java
Collection.java                       Switch.java
Comparable.java                       Switchable.java
Comparator.java                       TypedLinkedList.java
ConcurrentModificationException.java  TypedSplayTreeMap.java
Iterator.java                         UnsupportedOperationException.java
LinkedList.java

Stuart, do you have time to research this information and advise on
what I should do?  btw, if you need a copy of SableUtil, it's over at
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/sablecc/sablecc.jar.

As far as I know, SableUtil doesn't have any plans to implement the
entire java.util library -- they're just the Collection API.

I'll send you a personal email explaining the new CVS stuff...
