[Oberon] What am I missing?

[eas lab]

How do *YOU* find the important info that you read in one of your files
after event 17 months and before event 14 months ago?

Why did 90's NativeOberon which had a single file-space and COULD do
non-trivial projects, have no <list by recentcy> facility?

Do other users, having worked in the single file-space for 24 months
and having accumulated 7'395 files not prefer to have the most
recent-files listed first?

If you are making coffee, using 9 items via several repeated accesses:
do you want the 9 items <on the top of the stack> until the task is
completed; or do you want to repeatedly access each via it's <exactly.
specified identifier> from amongst 7'395 items?

I want to relate this to functional programming.
