delete-item
delete-item-if

iterate-key-value doesn't make sense for nested hash-tables, we 
should implement both
   nested and non-nested...
get rid of empty, make everyone type empty-container or, better yet, empty!

aided and unaided searching... I can search any iteratable container 
but I can search
bst's fast.

maybe find-item and search-for-item (the slower and more flexible 
one) hunt-for-item, lookup-item vs find-item

? append-item
? delete-last

Todo
----

* Re-design class hierarchy
* queue-on-container
* create heap class and hide EKSL heap in it, then use this for heap based PQ
* sets and bags need :test, :key in the constructor
* the X-container adaptors have very similar implementation, make 
this a sub-class (adaptive-container-mixin)
   to handle most of the pattern.

* sparse-array should use associative-container (nested hash tables) 
and be able
   to iterate container
* arrays should allow for initial-contents
* add associative-arrays
* add initial-element-fn
* sparse-array-container should use contents-as-hashtable-mixin (and 
have size the amount in use?)
* restore regular associative-container and created 
nested-associative-container
* doubly-linked-list
* add methods for working with the end of an ordered-container (and a 
new class)
* break ordered container into pieces corresponding to efficiency classes
* delete-first, delete-last, append-item and so on
* generic operations for standard lisp types? (container ops are 
destructive... makes this hard)

** fix / improve bags and add sets
** we should have stack-container and bag-container and so on.
** remove smallest-item and biggest-item (replace with first-item and 
last-item)
** dump generic-iteratable-container-mixin

* rework observable stuff and add to eksl-utilities

* copy-container
* samep (good use of forward-iterators)

* generic algoritms (e.g., sort, merge, find...)??
* instead of insert-list, insert-sequence, and so on... have 
insert-object and dispatch on it

More esoteric data structures
   Fibonacci heaps (and other heaps)
   etc.

Less esoteric data structures

bag-container / set-container using lists, hash-tables or other 
things. The problem
is that the bag/set-container seens to require specialization on 
bag/set. The other
problem is that a bag-container using a hash-table should implement a 
fast find-item
rather than the iterative search-for-item.

Do we want to add assertions and such (use a parameter or a mixin)

Westy's slow-mixin

Look at various Lisp list operations (e.g., count, replace, and so on)
and see if they would make sense for any sorts of containers.
