I'm not sure but oForth have Listbuffers, mutable list of items with 
your standard features, get, save, insert, copy,and delete items or 
entire list, plain list are immutable so they are not as useful but 
still usable to hold non-changing data such as conversion patterns. I'm 
not an expert so take the information on this reply with a grain of salt.

I'm not familiar enough with your novice package enough to tell you the 
difference between your software and these two Forth like programs. Next 
week I have allotted some time to compare oForth, 8th, and VFX with your 
library to see which are more usable, and efficient.

8th does not have list that I can find, but it has arrays of containers 
that can be used for a similar purpose, it's different in the sense that 
they are "containers" which are just pointers and can hold any type of 
object including other containers, copying, of an item means copying the 
pointer not the data so it's more efficient when manipulating a lot of 
containers. That scheme is not efficient when using integers but can be 
efficient with complex containers.

8th is also quite different from Forth in other ways, I have not found 
Builds, Does or any compiler words to define words with a compile time 
and a different run time behavior that would be rather limiting, but I'm 
not familiar enough to be 100% confident that it is so, I could have 
missed it somehow.
