Oh yes -- an absolutely crucial little detail.  The benchmarks
I wrote back when I made that optional addition, by the way,
showed absolutely ZERO measurable slowdown for having PyRXP use
lists rather than tuples -- so the use of lists might just as
well be the default (it's a pity it isn't, IMHO).

Me neither.  That could be a killer for the OP's needs, sigh.
