namespace lostd // or just no namespace at all, any other 'list' class is 
unlikely
{
template< ... >
class list : public ::std::list< ... >

int size() const { return ::std::list< ... >::size(); } // plus possibly

};

 This class is technically still also std::list, so it should be a drop-in 
replacement for all cases. And IMO a much nicer solution than 
people "randomly" adding casts all over the codebase.
