Peter's example is standard to the language. It's just not used much

I guess another way of saying this is: the people on this list are
getting old. :-)

Not quite. The name of the game is information

Consider a linear search through an array:

This is wandering way far afield of the list charter. In an effort
to maintain some relevance, I'll point out that code reviews, and
crypto programming, are rarely done, and arguably shouldn't, by
programming wizards.
If by that you mean,
It used to be that checking bounds on certain collections was less
efficient than waiting for the out of bounds exception. I think Joshua
Bloch discusses this in his book.
I've also seen this in generated code where you aren't sure of the
nature of the object you're indexing and thus don't know
