	<h4>Lists</h4>
	<div>
		A <i>list</i> is a simple cons-style list with a head and a tail.&nbsp;
		The head of a <i>list</i> is an element,
		and the tail is either another <i>list</i> or <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>.
		For example,
	</div>
	<div class="code">
		(<i>a</i>, (<i>b</i>, (<i>c</i>, <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>)))
	</div>
	<div>
		...is a <i>list</i> of <i>3</i> elements--<i>a</i>, <i>b</i>, and <i>c</i>.
	</div>
	<div>
		This allows macro parameters to be variable in size and allows data states to change
		size without the user explicitly keeping track of the size independently.
	</div>
	<div>
		Elements of a <i>list</i> can be extracted with
		<b>BOOST_PP_LIST_FIRST</b> and <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_REST</b>.&nbsp;
	</div>
