Maybe you could use a zipper. Or just maintain the list split into 
chunks. So l' = [stuffBefore,hi,stuffAfter].
Or if you want to be able to use each element of hi as a kind of 
pointer, then l'=[stuffBefore] ++ map (:[]) hi ++ [stuffAfter]
Now modification becomes just a matter of replacing the appropriate chunk.
