Fwd: Feedback about StableValues(Preview)

[david Grajales]

Actually the example I gave would be better implemented with maps than with
lists. Maps offer better readability and don't require dealing with
indexes. Many UI widgets works like that, I suppose many Android developers
will be happy.

I can think of some lazy computing of HttpRequests for IoT scripting.
