+wxList classes provide linked list functionality for wxWidgets, and for an
application if it wishes. Depending on the form of constructor used, a list
can be keyed on integer or string keys to provide a primitive look-up ability,
but please note that this feature is {\bf deprecated}.
See \helpref{wxHashMap}{wxhashmap}\rtfsp for a faster method of storage
when random access is required.

+While wxList class in the previous versions of wxWidgets only could contain
elements of type wxObject and had essentially untyped interface (thus allowing
you to put apples in the list and read back oranges from it), the new wxList
classes family may contain elements of any type and has much more strict type
checking. Unfortunately, it also requires an additional line to be inserted in
your program for each list class you use (which is the only solution short of
-using templates which is not done in wxWindows because of portability issues).
+using templates which is not done in wxWidgets because of portability issues).
The general idea is to have the base class wxListBase working with {\it void *}
data but make all of its dangerous (because untyped) functions protected, so
// also have MyList::Node type which is the type-safe version of wxNode.
MyList list;
MyListElement element;

+ list.Append(&element); // ok
list.Append(17); // error: incorrect type
// let's iterate over the list
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
