/**
 * @brief Generic thread-safe list class.
 *
 * RTCMTList is a thread-safe implementation of the list class. It uses a
 * read/write semaphore to serialize the access to the items. Several readers
 * can simultaneous access different or the same item. If one thread is writing
 * to an item, the other accessors are blocked until the write has finished.
 *
 * Although the access is guarded, the user has to make sure the list content
 * is consistent when iterating over the list or doing any other kind of access
 * which makes assumptions about the list content. For a finer control of access
 * restrictions, use your own locking mechanism and the standard list
 * implementation.
 *
