As a patch it looks good, however I feel the reason we created these types inheriting from the STL containers was to add a functionality to them (like in `hashmap` and `hashset`). But I feel this class doesn't add anything to the default `std::list<T>` and indeed it removes functionality since now there's no access to all the different constructors from `std::list` and we run in the risk of leaking memory (One should not create pointers to any, `List`, `hashmap` or `hashset`).

My preferred solution would be to delete this convenience class, and use a typedef while the code that uses it is cleaned up, or just remove it altogether and cleanup in one pass.
