Since the start of the discussion, contesters have been offering numerous solutions, all being contextual and with gotchas, none being obvious, simple or elegant. in the context above, I was offering that there were obvious, simple and elegant solutions, but that which one was dependent on the use case. EVERY choice in programming is dependent on the use case. What I haven't seen yet is a compelling use case for a sequence .get() that does not have an existing simple and elegant solution. which doesn't mean they don't exist. (and for the my part, the machinations with or shortcutting are not, in my book, simple or elegant...) Plus Sven already estimated the implementation would not be very hard. ... The proposal is actionable, the cost of it seems low, This would not simply be adding one method to a class. It would be adding a method to the Sequence protocol ( ABC, whatever you want call it). So a much heavier lift and larger impact than you imply. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
