I wasn't sure if there was precedent for adding such functionality to 
containers.  I could imagine some philosophical objections, but there 
often is no good alternative if you need the functionality.

So I guess the advice here is: use the proper container interfaces for 
this, or if they don't exist, fix the container. :-)
