(But I am not sure at all whether we should are bout those) Container properties are not particularly easy to accommodate. Standard techniques call for an infinite number of predicates which is probably not a good idea to build in to the language (at least, it could have unknown ramifications). Since the general best practice for several years now has been to denigrate contatiners, I think it's a barrel of trouble we can safely leave unopened. Cheers, Bijan.
