Arild,

We are looking at what standard collections would make sense to include
in the product in future versions. Tied in to this decision is of course
the introduction of template (generics) support. While no decisions have
been made on either of these topics, we do welcome any feedback you, or
anyone else has on these issues.

Regards,
Kit

A tree-based datastructure is not an end in itself - if you look at the
C++ standard library, you wont find a std::tree class. Instead you
choose a collection based on your time and space complexity
requirements(although not explicitly specified as such, std::map is
almost certainly implemented as a balanced tree). If you are looking for
a tree to implement a dictionary, the Hashtable class will be a
satisfactory alternative in most cases.

That being said, the System.Collections namespace leave a few things to
be desired, and a tree-based collection would be nice.
