A better data structure for lists in Skill

Anyone who worked in both Python and Skill would agree that some of the operations on Lists which are done in a line in Python would take several lines of complex code in Skill.

I am wondering if we can create a data-structure in Skill that mimics Python's list and supports all operations and uses some combination of native list and array to actually store the data, may be in a slightly inefficient way.

Anyone have any thoughts or pointers to any work already done on this... Thanks.

Use vectors.
Try:
help makeVector

Vector/Array size is fixed. We can not add elements dynamically.
