//! The class template list is an intrusive container that mimics most of the 
//! interface of std::list as described in the C++ standard.
//!
//! The template parameter \c T is the type to be managed by the container.
//! The user can specify additional options and if no options are provided
//! default options are used.
//!
//! The container supports the following options:
//! \c base_hook<>/member_hook<>/value_traits<>,
//! \c constant_time_size<> and \c size_type<>.
