Re: generic method names for collections

woh.  that was like totally illegible.

the reason to do the 'proxy thing is that we can now
write classes that inherit from "mop-vector" (or whatever it's called).
E.g., a vector allowing negative indices (a[-4] == a[len(a) - 4]), a 
"simpleimple-minded-hash-table" class overriding lookup and retrieval
by first hashing the key ("simple-minded-hash-table" is-a 
"mop-vector" and has-a "mop-alist"s-lists").
