The terminology in my CS textbooks all those years ago was "push 
and pop", not "push and pull".  Gambas already has Push() and 
Pop().... jum was just looking for a method of the Array object 
that acted like Push and Pop, but would operate on any element 
of an array, not just the top (last) element.

I personally would like to see equivalents to Shift and Unshift 
(perl functions that behave like Pop and Push but on the bottom 
(first) element of a list rather than the top element,) but the 
Add method combined with a Remove method that returned the value 
it removed would be good enough for me.
