Thanks a lot for it, Jack. I guess, an object like this would be good to have
in list-abs.  I've used the functionality in the past, but never bothered with
an abstraction. I have used my urne.pd then, which is in the "purepd" section
on Sourceforge and a clone of Max'/Cyclone's [urn] (but not zexy's [urn]!). It
seems to deal a bit better with huge numbers like building a list of 1000
unique numbers without stack overflows. It's attached.

Ciao
