/**

 * @brief PARC (Generic) List
 *
 * An ordered collection (also known as a sequence).
 * The user of this interface has precise control over where in the list each element is inserted.
 * The user can access elements by their integer index (position in the list), and search for elements in the list.
 * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements.
 * More formally, lists typically allow pairs of elements e1 and e2 such that e1.equals(e2), and they typically allow
 * multiple null elements if they allow null elements at all.
 * It is not inconceivable that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates,
 * by throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we expect this usage to be rare.
