I love scheme/dict. I've implemented several instances, including id- 
tables (mutable and immutable), skip-lists, and gvectors, and I use  
all of them in my code. I admit that I mostly use the instance's  
procedures instead of the generics in checked-in code, but I'm more  
likely to use generics at the repl. Also, 'in-dict' is really useful.
