   *  @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
