 Please add support for doubly linked lists that do not have a root node.
 Rather such a container (a thin wrapper around the associated
 *list_algorithms<> class) would simply hold a pointer to the beginning of
 the list (or a null for an empty list).
 This would eliminate the need to actually have an instance of a
 container...rather *list_algorithms<>::static functions could be used
 directly on any member of the list w/o "worrying" whether it is a pointer
 to the root node or an actual contained object...
