Thanks Frederico, I actually read those before, so I knew what I was
getting into. What Joel was doing is just "Java-style" iterators, which
just simplifies loops. I'm aiming to clone as much of the STL as
possible, which is a slightly different scope. 

However as I said above, I'm aiming to include this in an experimental
lib first so it can mature before trying to mess with Glib. I've always
assumed EGG stood for Experimental GNOME something, so I was aiming for
there. Can you give me some insight into this?

Cheers,
Ryan
