Double-linked lists with comprehensive set of operations (incl. optional self-organizing behaviors).

• ES6 iterator support
• Stack & queue API (front and/or back)
• Random node access (read / write, O(n/2))
• Node insertion (also w/ custom comparator)
• Node finding (O(n))
• Node swaps (O(1))
• Reversing (O(n/2))
• Rotation (left / right) (O(1))
• Shuffling (configurable, support custom PRNG)
• Sorting (Merge sort, w/ custom comparator)
• Slicing (sublist copies)
• Splicing (delete and/or insert)
• release() (emptying, GC friendly)
• concat() / into()
• map() / filter() / reduce()
• compare() / equiv()
• toJSON() transform (-> array)

v2.3.0 adds the self-organizing list type SOL (an extension of DCons), which dynamically re-orders items based on certain accesses and offers these two built-in strategies:

• defMTF() - moves currently accessed element to front of list
• defTranspose() - swaps currently accessed element with its predecessor

Only the following operations will trigger the self-organizing behavior:

• nth()
• setNth()
• setTail()
• find()
• findWith()

Btw. Also see @thi.ng/cache for more LRU, MRU implementations based on managed DCons impls...
