<summary>A list class used by Gtk</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
<see cref="T:GLib.List" /> is managed wrapper for the underlying C list
implementation used by Gtk+. Various functions on the Gtk+
API take lists or return lists in this form.
</para>
<para>
The list deals with <see cref="T:System.IntPtr" /> objects, these are pointers into
unmanaged resources.
</para>
<example>
<para>
For example to create a list of widgets, you would use the
following sample:
</para>
<code lang="c#">
GLib.List MakeList (Gtk.Widget a, Gtk.Widget b)
{
GLib.List l = new GLib.List ((IntPtr) 0, typeof (Gtk.Widget));
l.Append (a.Handle);
l.Append (b.Handle);
}
</code>
<para>
The <see cref="T:System.Type" /> argument to the <see cref="T:GLib.List" />
constructor, allows the list enumerator code to return
properly wrapped or demarshalled objects from the unmanaged
world into the managed world.

<summary>Constructs a List</summary>
<param name="raw">A handle to a <see cref="T:GLib.List" />.</param>
<remarks>
<para>
<see cref="T:GLib.List" /> objects are constructed by passing an unmanaged
reference to an existing <see cref="T:GLib.List" />, or they can use
"(IntPtr) 0" as an initial value.
</para>
<para>
Using this constructor will not track the type information
of the classes or structures kept in the list. If you
plan on tracking the type information, use the <see cref="M:GLib.List.List(IntPtr,Type)" /> method.
