/*
   looks like array
   Covers both, IEventList and DiskResidentEventList
   Inefficient in so far as getEvent passes copies, not reference
   but that's the price to pay for allowing DiskResidentEventList 
   (as well as IEventList, which can pass references).
   So only use when you really need this flexibility.
   For time-critical loops, insist on IEventList where possible.
