/**
    The wxList<T> class provides linked list functionality.

    This class has been rewritten to be type safe and to provide the full API of
    the STL std::list container and should be used like it.
    The exception is that wxList<T> actually stores pointers and therefore its
    iterators return pointers and not references to the actual objets in the list
    (see example below) and @e value_type is defined as @e T*.
    wxList<T> destroys an object after removing it only if wxList<T>::DeleteContents
    has been called.

    wxList<T> is not a real template and it requires that you declare and define
    each wxList<T> class in your program. This is done with @e WX_DECLARE_LIST
    and @e WX_DEFINE_LIST macros (see example). We hope that we'll be able to
    provide a proper template class providing both the STL @c std::list and the old
    wxList API in the future.

    Please refer to the STL @c std::list documentation (see http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/stl/list/start)
    for further information on how to use the class.
    Below we documented both the supported STL and the legacy API
    that originated from the old wxList class and which can still be used alternatively
    for the the same class.

    Note that if you compile wxWidgets in STL mode (@c wxUSE_STL defined as 1)
    then wxList<T> will actually derive from @c std::list and just add a legacy
    compatibility layer for the old wxList class.

    @code
    // this part might be in a header or source (.cpp) file
    class MyListElement
    {
        ... // whatever
    };

    // this macro declares and partly implements MyList class
    WX_DECLARE_LIST(MyListElement, MyList);

    ...

    // the only requirement for the rest is to be AFTER the full declaration of
    // MyListElement (for WX_DECLARE_LIST forward declaration is enough), but
    // usually it will be found in the source file and not in the header

    #include <wx/listimpl.cpp>
    WX_DEFINE_LIST(MyList);


    MyList list;
    MyListElement element;
    list.Append(&element);     // ok
    list.Append(17);           // error: incorrect type

    // let's iterate over the list in STL syntax
    MyList::iterator iter;
    for (iter = list.begin(); iter != list.end(); ++iter)
    {
        MyListElement *current = *iter;

        ...process the current element...
    }

    // the same with the legacy API from the old wxList class
    MyList::compatibility_iterator node = list.GetFirst();
    while (node)
    {
        MyListElement *current = node->GetData();

        ...process the current element...

        node = node->GetNext();
    }
    @endcode

    For compatibility with previous versions wxList and wxStringList classes are
    still defined, but their usage is deprecated and they will disappear in the
    future versions completely.
    The use of the latter is especially discouraged as it is not only unsafe but
    is also much less efficient than wxArrayString class.

/**
    wxNode<T> is the node structure used in linked lists (see wxList) and derived

    works with untyped (@c void *) data and this is unsafe.
    Use wxNode<T>-derived classes which are automatically defined by WX_DECLARE_LIST
    and WX_DEFINE_LIST macros instead as described in wxList documentation
    (see example there).

    "template" parameter: this is the type of data stored in the linked list or,
    in other words, the first argument of WX_DECLARE_LIST macro. Also, wxNode is
    written as wxNodeT even though it isn't really a template class -- but it
