(** List operations.
|
|
|
|
Some functions are flagged as not tail-recursive. A tail-recursive
|
|
function uses constant stack space, while a non-tail-recursive function
|
|
uses stack space proportional to the length of its list argument, which
|
|
can be a problem with very long lists. When the function takes several
|
|
list arguments, an approximate formula giving stack usage (in some
|
|
unspecified constant unit) is shown in parentheses.
|
|
|
|
The above considerations can usually be ignored if your lists are not
|
|
longer than about 10000 elements.
