=head1 NOTES  
  
  - String, Number & List are currently the only Values.
  
  - Indexed is pretty much an interface, we probably will 
    need more of these (see Smalltalk Collection Trait 
    Refactoring)
  
=head1 BUGS

All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no 
exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
