      Helps to manipulate singly-linked lists of objects.
  
      For objects that are designed to contain a pointer to the subsequent item in the
      list, this class contains methods to deal with the list. To use it, the ObjectType
      class that it points to must contain a LinkedListPointer called nextListItem, e.g.
  
      @code
      struct MyObject
      {
          int x, y, z;
  
          // A linkable object must contain a member with this name and type, which must be
          // accessible by the LinkedListPointer class. (This doesn't mean it has to be public -
          // you could make your class a friend of a LinkedListPointer<MyObject> instead).
          LinkedListPointer<MyObject> nextListItem;
      };
  
      LinkedListPointer<MyObject> myList;
      myList.append (new MyObject());
      myList.append (new MyObject());
  
      int numItems = myList.size(); // returns 2
      MyObject* lastInList = myList.getLast();
