[boost] [mpl][docs]why use list?

Comparing the vector doc: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/vector.html which contains: supports constant-time insertion and removal of elements at both ends, and linear-time insertion and removal of elements in the middle. with the list doc: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/list.html which contains: supports constant-time insertion and removal of elements at the beginning, and linear-time insertion and removal of elements at the end and in the middle. shows these documents indicate no reason to prefer list over vector but does indicate a reason to prefer vector over list. Is there any reason to prefer list over of vector? -regards, Larry
