    /** @ingroup cds_intrusive_list
        \anchor cds_intrusive_MichaelList_rcu

        Usually, ordered single-linked list is used as a building block for the hash table implementation.
        The complexity of searching is <tt>O(N)</tt>.

        Template arguments:
        - \p RCU - one of \ref cds_urcu_gc "RCU type"
        - \p T - type to be stored in the list; the type \p T should be based on (or has a member of type)
            cds::intrusive::micheal_list::node
        - \p Traits - type traits. See \p michael_list::traits for explanation. It is possible to declare option-based
             list with \p cds::intrusive::michael_list::make_traits metafunction,
             see \ref cds_intrusive_MichaelList_hp "here" for explanations.

        \par Usage
            Before including <tt><cds/intrusive/michael_list_rcu.h></tt> you should include appropriate RCU header file,
            see \ref cds_urcu_gc "RCU type" for list of existing RCU class and corresponding header files.
            For example, for \ref cds_urcu_general_buffered_gc "general-purpose buffered RCU" you should include:
            \code
            #include <cds/urcu/general_buffered.h>
            #include <cds/intrusive/michael_list_rcu.h>

            // Now, you can declare Michael's list for type Foo and default traits:
            typedef cds::intrusive::MichaelList<cds::urcu::gc< cds::urcu::general_buffered<> >, Foo > rcu_michael_list;
            \endcode
