Advanced ETS Pattern Matching

[Eric Newhuis]

Thank you very much.  I no longer feel ignorant.  I probably just appear
to be ignorant.  The former was quick to resolve.  The latter will take
some time.

But this is great.  I will now flush my Trie down the toilet.  ETS does
everything I need.  ETS rules!!

Sincerely,
Eric

Is this what you mean?

Eshell V5.2  (abort with ^G)
1> L=[a,b].
[a,b]
2> L++'_'.
[a,b|'_']
