// TList                                                                //
//                                                                      //
// 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 basically four ways to iterate over a TList (in order      //
// of preference, if not forced by other constraints):                  //
//    1) Using the R__FOR_EACH macro:                                   //
//         GetListOfPrimitives()->R__FOR_EACH(TObject,Paint)(option);   //
//                                                                      //
//    2) Using the TList iterator TListIter (via the wrapper class      //
//       TIter):                                                        //
//         TIter next(GetListOfPrimitives());                           //
//         while ((TObject *obj = next()))                              //
//            obj->Draw(next.GetOption());                              //
//                                                                      //
//    3) Using the TList iterator TListIter and std::for_each           //
//       algorithm:                                                     //
//         // 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() );       //
//                                                                      //
//    4) Using the TObjLink list entries (that wrap the TObject*):      //
//         TObjLink *lnk = GetListOfPrimitives()->FirstLink();          //
//         while (lnk) {                                                //
//            lnk->GetObject()->Draw(lnk->GetOption());                 //
//            lnk = lnk->Next();                                        //
//         }                                                            //
//                                                                      //
//    5) Using the TList's After() and Before() member functions:       //
//         TFree *idcur = this;                                         //
//         while (idcur) {                                              //
//            ...                                                       //
//            ...                                                       //
//            idcur = (TFree*)GetListOfFree()->After(idcur);            //
//         }                                                            //
//                                                                      //
//   Methods 2, 3 and 4 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.        //
