Code is obviously barebones but passes tests and works with allocators.

Notes:

* I managed to not store one allocator per node, but there's one allocator per range. That's needed if we want "orphan ranges" to work, i.e. ranges that survive the list they came from. This is a clasic convenience vs. efficiency thing.

* There's a refcount per node because any given node may belong to multiple lists.

* Refcounting is interesting because many nodes are only used by the previous node. So destroying a list is... funny. Never saw or wrote code like this previously. See nukeTransitively.

All in all things seem convex. Please destroy appropriately.


Thanks,

Before being able to compile your code i have some very basic questions:

1. Where can I find 'std/experimental/allocator.d'? The compiler seems to want it and i cannot find it in either https://github.com/andralex/phobos/tree/allocator/std/experimental/allocator or https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/tree/master/std/experimental

2. What is the rationale behind a singly linked list? Or is it just to experiment with collections and allocators?
