/**
 * Generic linked list.
 *
 * These lists are designed to store simple values like pointers,
 * references, and scalar values.  While they can be used to directly
 * store more complex objects, destructors for those objects will not
 * be called unless those objects derive from Inkscape::GC::Finalized.
 *
 * In general it's better to use lists to store pointers or references
 * to objects requiring finalization and manage object lifetimes separately.
 *
 * @see Inkscape::GC::Finalized
 *
 * cons() is synonymous with List<T>(first, rest), except that the
 * compiler will usually be able to infer T from the type of \a rest.
 *
 * If you need to create an empty list (which can, for example, be used
 * as an 'end' value with STL algorithms), call the List<> constructor
 * with no arguments, like so:
 *
 * <code>    List<int>()    </code>
