 * DataLists have two sets of methods.
 *
 * 1). Selection methods (SS_Filterable, SS_Sortable, SS_Limitable) change the way the list is built, but does not

 *
 * 2). Mutation methods change the underlying data. The change persists into the underlying data storage layer.
 *
 * DataLists are _immutable_ as far as selection methods go - they all return new instances of DataList, rather
 * than change the current list.
 *
 * DataLists are _mutable_ as far as mutation methods go - they all act on the existing DataList instance.
