I think a wrapper is not a good idea, since you cannot provide O(1) 
splice if splice is O(n).

Why not providing a new policy-based std::list implementation?
Since you're at it, you might add full support for allocators, which 
containers do not have usually, allocator v2 support, move semantics, 
in-place insertion...
