/** A class for immutable linked lists representing ordered collections
* of elements of type.
*
* This class comes with two implementing case classes `scala.Nil`
* and `scala.::` that implement the abstract members `isEmpty`,
* `head` and `tail`.
*
* This class is optimal for last-in-first-out (LIFO), stack-like access patterns. If you need another access
* pattern, for example, random access or FIFO, consider using a collection more suited to this than `List`.
*
* @example {{{
* // Make a list via the companion object factory
* val days = List("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")
*
* // Make a list element-by-element
* val when = "AM" :: "PM" :: List()
*
* // Pattern match
* days match {
* case firstDay :: otherDays =>
* println("The first day of the week is: " + firstDay)
* case List() =>
* println("There don't seem to be any week days.")
* }
* }}}
*
* ==Performance==
* '''Time:''' `List` has `O(1)` prepend and head/tail access. Most other operations are `O(n)` on the number of elements in the list.
* This includes the index-based lookup of elements, `length`, `append` and `reverse`.
*
* '''Space:''' `List` implements '''structural sharing''' of the tail list. This means that many operations are either
* zero- or constant-memory cost.
* {{{
* val mainList = List(3, 2, 1)
* val with4 = 4 :: mainList // re-uses mainList, costs one :: instance
* val with42 = 42 :: mainList // also re-uses mainList, cost one :: instance
* val shorter = mainList.tail // costs nothing as it uses the same 2::1::Nil instances as mainList
* }}}
*
* @note The functional list is characterized by persistence and structural sharing, thus offering considerable
* performance and space consumption benefits in some scenarios if used correctly.
* However, note that objects having multiple references into the same functional list (that is,
* objects that rely on structural sharing), will be serialized and deserialized with multiple lists, one for
* each reference to it. I.e. structural sharing is lost after serialization/deserialization.

* is defined in object `List`.
* @define bfinfo an implicit value of class `CanBuildFrom` which determines the
* result class `That` from the current representation type `Repr`
* and the new element type `B`. This is usually the `canBuildFrom` value
* defined in object `List`.
