Would be nice to use alamid-list with underscore-functions

var list = require("alamid-list");

list.use(require("alamid-list/plugins/underscore"),
    { underscore: require("underscore") });
list.pluck("name"); // ["moe", "larry", "curly"]

If I don't want to wrap an array (because I just want to expose an array instead of an instance of alamid-list), it would be useful to just override the array methods:

List.patch(arr);

arr.on("add", function () {})

It would be cool to create a pointer which updates itself when elements are being added:

var list = new List([1,2,3])
var pointer = list.pointer(1);

pointer(); // 1, equals the given index
list.unshift(0); // [0, 1, 2, 3]
pointer(); // 2, equals the new index, because an element has been added
list.push(4); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
pointer(); // 2, because an element has been appended which doesn't affect the pointer
list.push(5); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
list.reverse(); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
pointer(); // 3, because the order has been changed
list.splice(3, 1); // [5, 4, 3, 1, 0]
pointer(); // 3, because the pointer is not connected to the element it points to

But what happens on sort()? Probably the best solution is to retrieve the element where the pointer points to and then, after sort() use indexOf() to determine where the element was placed.

Like W3C's Event API

The word element clashes with DOM elements. Should be the same with alamid-set

It would be nice to make a list unique. In order to accomplish this the plugin needs to iterate the array to look for the element. The plugin should recognize a sorted list and use an optimized algorithm.

In Firefox Object.prototype.watch is defined which breaks the initialization code of the watch-plugin.
