I think you're arguing both sides of the argument -- numpy arrays do
have a lot of similar, related operations (because numpy uses them

I'm advocating that the built-in list class add the efficient,
convenience methods -- especially since it wouldn't be overriding
other methods, it would be leveraging standard methods that are
currently unimplemented
Those methods make perfect sense in the bit-twiddling lists that you are
using. They make no sense whatsoever for lists like ["The", "quick",
"brown", "fox"]. There's a decent purpose for a class implementing the
features you want, but I honestly don't think the generic list class is it.
