NOTE that one should not compare elements in a list based on their indices.
If List2 is an exact copy of List1 and both Currents point to the same
element, it is not guaranteed that List1.Index = List2.Index because one of
them could be the negative equivalent of the other (non-negative) one.
* OPT: Dynamically add up to 8 anchors to increase the chance of finding a
very good anchor for traversals. These are automatically updated on
append/prepend/take operations to be widespread across the List.
* OPT: Also save an anchor of the last element obtained via _get().
Sequential traversal with indices should now be almost array-like in
speed.
* BUG: Current can be used as an enumerator now without corrupting the list
and also if it is initially invalid.
* OPT: Make the VAL_append()/prepend() algorithms more clever: They can use
any neighbour chunk now to borrow space for the inserted value. This
measure reduces list fragmentation and also enables to satisfy the (L)
postulate.
* NEW: Push() and Pop() are new methods of the List class to save and
restore anchors from a Gambas program. These can be used to quickly go
back to a formerly-visited element.
AvlTree:
* NEW: Add a Copy() method to return a deep copy of an AvlTree.
* NEW: Split() is a new method of AvlTree to return the left or right
subtree of a given node or both.
* NEW: Add Insert() to insert an AvlTree into another one.
* NEW: Add PreOrder, PostOrder, Reverse and LevelOrder virtual properties to
specify the enumeration flavour.
