My understanding is that there won't be anything terribly magical about the built-in datatypes/classes. So if you want to add your own methods to PAIR, or even override the provided ones, you can.
The rumor is that you'll also be able to pretty much redefine the syntax arbitrarily anyway, but I don't think that mechanism is defined yet, or that such shenanigans will be necessary for just renaming some methods. > An associative list is a list of pairs that's used like a hash but > requires a linear search for reads and writes.
