I think the "lists" test should be defined in some way that actually
requires the implementations to build containers with constant-time
insert-at-head (i.e. not arrays).  This will result in some languages
(e.g. perl) having rather slow solutions, but I think that is
appropriate.  Perl really *is* slow for some tasks.
