8. A memory according to claim 7 wherein the logic for adding the plurality of merged elements to a merged list also includes: logic for determining at least one list that remains unexamined from the plurality of lists; and logic for updating the merged list based on the at least one list that remains unexamined.

A memory according to claim 7 wherein the logic for adding the plurality of merged elements to a merged list also includes: logic for determining at least one list that remains unexamined from the plurality of lists; and logic for updating the merged list based on the at least one list that remains unexamined. 9. A memory according to claim 8 wherein the logic for updating the merged list based on the at least one list that remains unexamined comprises: logic for selecting a list, from the at least one list that remains unexamined, as the current list to be examined; logic for deriving a first list based on the current merged list; logic for deriving a second list based on the current list; logic for deriving edit data from the first and second lists wherein the edit data can be used to change the first list into the second list; logic for applying the edit data to the current merged list to produce an updated merged list wherein applying is done in conjunction with the plurality of lists and the plurality of list associations, to produce an updated merged list; and logic for repeating the above steps if there is an unexamined list remaining.
