   *  @brief A standard container with linear time access to elements,
   *  and fixed time insertion/deletion at any point in the sequence.
   *
   *  @ingroup Containers
   *  @ingroup Sequences
   *
   *  Meets the requirements of a <a href="tables.html#65">container</a>, a
   *  <a href="tables.html#66">reversible container</a>, and a
   *  <a href="tables.html#67">sequence</a>, including the
   *  <a href="tables.html#68">optional sequence requirements</a> with the
   *  %exception of @c at and @c operator[].
   *
   *  This is a @e doubly @e linked %list.  Traversal up and down the
   *  %list requires linear time, but adding and removing elements (or
   *  @e nodes) is done in constant time, regardless of where the
   *  change takes place.  Unlike std::vector and std::deque,
   *  random-access iterators are not provided, so subscripting ( @c
   *  [] ) access is not allowed.  For algorithms which only need
   *  sequential access, this lack makes no difference.
   *
   *  Also unlike the other standard containers, std::list provides
   *  specialized algorithms %unique to linked lists, such as
   *  splicing, sorting, and in-place reversal.
   *
   *  @if maint
   *  A couple points on memory allocation for list<Tp>:
   *
   *  First, we never actually allocate a Tp, we allocate
   *  List_node<Tp>'s and trust [20.1.5]/4 to DTRT.  This is to ensure
   *  that after elements from %list<X,Alloc1> are spliced into
   *  %list<X,Alloc2>, destroying the memory of the second %list is a
   *  valid operation, i.e., Alloc1 giveth and Alloc2 taketh away.
   *
   *  Second, a %list conceptually represented as
   *  @code
   *    A <---> B <---> C <---> D
   *  @endcode
   *  is actually circular; a link exists between A and D.  The %list
   *  class holds (as its only data member) a private list::iterator
   *  pointing to @e D, not to @e A!  To get to the head of the %list,
   *  we start at the tail and move forward by one.  When this member
   *  iterator's next/previous pointers refer to itself, the %list is
   *  %empty.  @endif
