Then "Less Dereferencing" is not achieved as there are 2 pointer dereferences per access to an element instead of just one, and that goes against the claim "std::list<T> has the same space requirements, memory locality and capabilities of an intrusive list. Period." I have no idea how to implement something that has same memory locality and capabilities as intrusive list with std::list and that's why I'm asking how it's done. Storing a pointer does not have same memory locality.
