13 All this is quite ugly but serves two purposes:
14 1. Be almost 100% compatible with old, untyped, wxList class
15 2. Ensure compile-time type checking for the linked lists
16
17 The idea is to have one base class (wxListBase) working with "void *" data,
18 but to hide these untyped functions - i.e. make them protected, so they
19 can only be used from derived classes which have inline member functions
20 working with right types. This achieves the 2nd goal. As for the first one,
21 we provide a special derivation of wxListBase called wxList which looks just
22 like the old class.
