Jacque,
My gadget adds the index in a parameter to the function. if it already exists
in the list, the addition is superfluous, but harmless.

I thought of that too, but it fails if tIndex isn't in
the list. The
example list was: "1,3,4,7,9" and the target limit was 5.
I
couldn't see a way that avoids looping through all the values.
