wx.lib.agw.ultimatelistctrl.SelectionStore

SelectionStore is used to store the selected items in the virtual controls, i.e. it is well suited for storing even when the control contains a huge (practically infinite) number of items.

Of course, internally it still has to store the selected items somehow (as an array currently) but the advantage is that it can handle the selection of all items (common operation) efficiently and that it could be made even smarter in the future (e.g. store the selections as an array of ranges + individual items) without changing its API.
