- If we align our mental model to needs, we are missing opportunities to solve the underlying struggles in innovative ways.

For single-indexed containers, you can use a generic TDictionary, for instance one of these:
Reminder to self: check out if there is a generic version of [WayBack] A multi index container: TIndexedStore – Martin C Harvey’s Software Pages anywhere.
Edit 20191220 (thanks Thaddy!) article moved to [WayBack] A multi index container: TIndexedStore – Martin C Harvey’s Pages.
For instance as part of:
