Sorry to nitpick, but there is no list.get().

No? How ... odd. I guess it wouldn't have come up, but I was sure there was a .get method which took an optional default parameter if the index didn't exist, mirroring the dict method. Still, I think my point stands--it's a clear extrapolation from the existing dict.get().
