Noob question: Is there no easier way to access list items than builtins.elemAt supplied with list and position?

Attribute sets are somewhat easier to handle I feel.

Usually you want to map over a list to do something with each item or fold it into a different data structure. Very rare that I need just a single item, but there is a lib function to access a list item based on equality somewhere iirc
