The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Different folks, different strokes - comparing DS' is often recommended,

Of course comparing data structures is often recommended. It's both
convenient and efficient. I certainly recommend comparing them. But
you have to understand what a data structure *is* to be able to use
them wisely and interpret the results correctly.
The behavior under discussion isn't a shortcoming of data structures
so much as it's an inherent property of what data structures are.
It's like we keep telling folks who insist that lack of arrival
sequence is somehow a shortcoming of SQL: No, it's not, it's just a
consequence of what SQL is.
