From what I've read so far I thought that collections where a good

sort of do what i was looking for.
Aside from the hash table lookups is there an advantage to using
dictionaries for this?
I guess I'm confused. What can you do with a collection that you can't
do with a dictionary?
I guess it's just a different implementation for the keys now that I
read further along ... but it still isn't able to do multidimensional
data is my point.
I guess crying about it won't help any, but things like this make RB
less and less appealing over time when you have to write all kinds of
classes just to do decent data manipulation :( I haven't had to deal
with this sort of stuff manually in years :(
