[Tutor] Strengths & weaknesses of Python lists compared to "old school" arrays [Was "Fixed Vector Array"]

[boB Stepp]

Thank you very much Alan and Steve for your detailed answers.  You
have clarified many things and sent me off searching for more
information on variant records, tagged and untagged unions, sparse
arrays, linked lists, how memory allocation is affected by these
topics and some other items.

And I would like to throw out a general THANK YOU to all of the
"tutors", who so generously donate your time. I know I have gotten
many detailed, patient answers to my queries. I just hope I truly
absorb and properly utilize the wisdom passed on to me!
