So, if I have understood correctly, having

will guarantee that any further access to the items of $sequence will
be performed in constant time?
No guarantees: but yes, that's what I would expect to happen.
Cant this be pre-computed automatically by the XSLT processor?
Something like computing a function with @memo-function="yes", but
done by the XSLT processor?
I'm not clear what you mean.
I want a "fast-sequence" that behaves like an array. In the
constructor implementation I'd put a reference to
$sequence[last]
probably not a direct reference, but by calling a function myLast()
that returns
$sequence[last]
I want this to be calculated only once. My question was will it be
successful to use the
saxon:memo-function="yes" attribute
on the definition of myLast()
Cheers,
Dimitre.
