Seriously, I'm not sure how the recent detailed discussions may change 
our attitude toward this issue, but I'm pretty sure we already discussed 
it in the past and eminent people said, roughly "if you really need O(1) 
size, the list is not the right container", or something very close.

I don't have a personal opinion, should at least read the recent 
discussion. Will do, I promise.

Paolo.
