depending on what you've done / referenced before you get the copy, your list will differ...
The underscores (single, double, triple) do appear to be transient; the others are internal references. No matter what, that ****[0] just won't work. I've already tried this on a couple of different machines, and I _can_ get to where 'foobar' is item[0] in the list - sometimes, and not reliably. More often, it's _sometimes_ item[0]; an activity (like a reference) disrupts that list. Anyway, this is interesting - good luck. I think you'll have to get the list, and manually remove the '_names' (including '__); Look at my first "test results" post of this thread - '_5' was at the head of that list (due to what activity happened, and how references were generated) ---- it stayed at the head of the list; '_5' does not seem like intermediate results, rather internally generated reference(s). Those references seem to "stay around" ... don't know for what length of time, but certainly the duration of my tests (gc might clean them up). Another time, '__' was at the head, but (as you noticed) that's transient, and went away. I think you have _incidentally_ hit on cases where item[0] just happens to be what you want. It doesn't look to me like you can count on that.
