Comment (by iwakeh):

 Replying to [comment:8 karsten]:
 > Interesting approach. I'd probably have stored the `int` value rather
 than the `T` reference. But I see how your approach should work as well.

 > One thing, though: you're never using the `int` value returned by
 `numFromList` other than for immediately looking up the reference in the
 list. Why not use a `HashSet` instead and change `numFromList` to
 `fromSet` that returns the `T` reference directly? Just in case there are
 more than just a few thousand entries in that list. And even with those,
 the set might be faster.

 My choice of collection was rather a reflex.  Maybe, I stared at logs and
 heap dumps for too long, but how do you retrieve a particular object
 reference from a Set?
