I would prefer if people used the iterator approach... Its much
better... Though it should be improved to allow also modifying the
list through it. (maybe removing next(), prev() and those would be ok?
:) (though some of those other wrapped functions are useful for people
who dont want to depend on STL's algorithms...)
