//! The class template slist is an intrusive container, that encapsulates
//! a singly-linked list. You can use such a list to squeeze the last bit
//! of performance from your application. Unfortunately, the little gains
//! come with some huge drawbacks. A lot of member functions can't be
//! implemented as efficiently as for standard containers. To overcome
//! this limitation some other member functions with rather unusual semantics
//! have to be introduced.
//!
//! The template parameter \c T is the type to be managed by the container.
//! The user can specify additional options and if no options are provided
//! default options are used.
//!
//! The container supports the following options:
//! \c base_hook<>/member_hook<>/value_traits<>,
//! \c constant_time_size<>, \c size_type<>,
//! \c linear<> and \c cache_last<>.
//!
//! The iterators of slist are forward iterators. slist provides a static
//! function called "previous" to compute the previous iterator of a given iterator.
//! This function has linear complexity. To improve the usability esp. with
//! the '*_after' functions, ++end() == begin() and previous(begin()) == end()
//! are defined. An new special function "before_begin()" is defined, which returns
//! an iterator that points one less the beginning of the list: ++before_begin() == begin()
