+/**
+ * Headless singly linked list class. A linked list
+ * is a list constructed from nodes, which hold
+ * stored values, with references to each other,
+ * this is usally an ineffective data structure,
+ * especially on high-level object orientated
+ * languages. A singly linked list only stores nodes
+ * with references to the following node. It also
+ * stores one refence nodes, the last node in the
+ * list. This implemention only implements methods
+ * that do not require iterating over all nodes for
+ * find a specific; all other methods' — those that
+ * are implemented — time complexity is Θ(1).
+ * 
+ * A headless singly linked list some features that
+ * could be an advantage depending on what you are
+ * using it for: Because it is singly linked it uses
+ * slightly less memory and it is slightly faster.
+ * Because it is also headless there is not need to
+ * remove nodes from the beginning of the list if you
+ * are iterating over the list, they are automatically
+ * lost and freed by the garbage collector (assuming
+ * there is one.)
+ * 
+ * @param  <T>  The value stored in the structure
