/**
* An immutable singly linked list implementation. None of the operations in {@link ImmutableList}
* changes the list itself. Therefore you can freely share the list in your system. This is a
* "classical" list implementation that the list is only allowed to prepend and to remove the first
* element efficiently. Therefore it is essentially equivalent to a stack.
It is either an empty
* list, or a record that contains the first element (called "head") and a list that follows(called
* "tail"). With the assumption that all the elements in the list are also immutable, the sharing of
* the tails is possible.
For a data structure that allows O(1) concatenation, try {@link
* ConcatList}. A BinaryTree can be converted into a List in O(n) time.
*
* @param The super type of all the elements.
