/** \class TList
\ingroup Containers
A doubly linked list.
 
All classes inheriting from TObject can be
inserted in a TList. Before being inserted into the list the object
pointer is wrapped in a TObjLink object which contains, besides
the object pointer also a previous and next pointer.
 
There are several ways to iterate over a TList; in order of preference, if
not forced by other constraints:
 
  1. (Preferred way) Using the C++ range-based `for` or `begin()` / `end()`:
~~~ {.cpp}
         for(const auto&& obj: *GetListOfPrimitives())
            obj->Write();
~~~
  2. Using the R__FOR_EACH macro:
~~~ {.cpp}
         GetListOfPrimitives()->R__FOR_EACH(TObject,Paint)(option);
~~~
  3. Using the TList iterator TListIter (via the wrapper class TIter):
~~~ {.cpp}
         TIter next(GetListOfPrimitives());
         while (TObject *obj = next())
            obj->Draw(next.GetOption());
~~~
  4. Using the TList iterator TListIter and std::for_each algorithm:
~~~ {.cpp}
         // A function object, which will be applied to each element
         // of the given range.
         struct STestFunctor {
            bool operator()(TObject *aObj) {
               ...
               return true;
            }
         }
         ...
         ...
         TIter iter(mylist);
         for_each( iter.Begin(), TIter::End(), STestFunctor() );
~~~
  5. Using the TObjLink list entries (that wrap the TObject*):
~~~ {.cpp}
         TObjLink *lnk = GetListOfPrimitives()->FirstLink();
         while (lnk) {
            lnk->GetObject()->Draw(lnk->GetOption());
            lnk = lnk->Next();
         }
~~~
  6. Using the TList's After() and Before() member functions:
~~~ {.cpp}
         TFree *idcur = this;
         while (idcur) {
            ...
            ...
            idcur = (TFree*)GetListOfFree()->After(idcur);
         }
~~~
Methods 3, 4 and 5 can also easily iterate backwards using either
a backward TIter (using argument kIterBackward) or by using
LastLink() and lnk->Prev() or by using the Before() member.
