<p>
<tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">list</span></tt> is a <a href="../concepts/forward_sequence.html" title="Forward
Sequence">Forward
Sequence</a> of heterogenous typed data built on top of <a href="cons.html" title="cons"><tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cons</span></tt></a>. It is more efficient than
<a href="vector.html" title="vector"><tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">vector</span></tt></a>
when the target sequence is constructed piecemeal (a data at a time). The
runtime cost of access to each element is peculiarly constant (see <a href="../../notes.html#fusion.notes.recursive_inlined_functions">Recursive Inlined Functions</a>).

<p>
The variadic class interface accepts <tt class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></tt>
to <tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">FUSION_MAX_LIST_SIZE</span></tt>
elements, where <tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">FUSION_MAX_LIST_SIZE</span></tt>
is a user definable predefined maximum that defaults to <tt class="computeroutput"><span class="number">10</span></tt>.
Example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<span class="identifier">list</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
</pre>
<p>
You may define the preprocessor constant <tt class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">FUSION_MAX_LIST_SIZE</span></tt>
before including any Fusion header to change the default. Example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">FUSION_MAX_LIST_SIZE</span> <span class="number">20</span>
