    /// Michael's ordered list (template specialization for \ref cds_urcu_desc "RCU")
    /** @ingroup cds_nonintrusive_list
        \anchor cds_nonintrusive_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>.

        Source:
        - [2002] Maged Michael "High performance dynamic lock-free hash tables and list-based sets"

        This class is non-intrusive version of \ref cds_intrusive_MichaelList_rcu "cds::intrusive::MichaelList" RCU specialization.

        Template arguments:
        - \p RCU - one of \ref cds_urcu_gc "RCU type"
        - \p T - type stored in the list. The type must be default- and copy-constructible.
        - \p Traits - type traits, default is michael_list::traits

        The implementation does not divide type \p T into key and value part and
        may be used as a main building block for hash set containers.
        The key is a function (or a part) of type \p T, and this function is specified by <tt>Traits::compare</tt> functor
        or <tt>Traits::less</tt> predicate.

        \ref cds_nonintrusive_MichaelKVList_rcu "MichaelKVList" is a key-value version of Michael's
        non-intrusive list that is closer to the C++ std library approach.

        @note Before including <tt><cds/container/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.

        It is possible to declare option-based list with cds::container::michael_list::make_traits metafunction istead of \p Traits template
        argument. For example, the following traits-based declaration of Michael's list

        \code
        #include <cds/urcu/general_buffered.h>
        #include <cds/container/michael_list_rcu.h>
        // Declare comparator for the item
        struct my_compare {
            int operator ()( int i1, int i2 )
            {
                return i1 - i2;
            }
        };

        // Declare traits
        struct my_traits: public cds::container::michael_list::traits
        {
            typedef my_compare compare;
        };

        // Declare traits-based list
        typedef cds::container::MichaelList< cds::urcu::gc< cds::urcu::general_buffered<> >, int, my_traits >     traits_based_list;
        \endcode

        is equivalent for the following option-based list
        \code
        #include <cds/urcu/general_buffered.h>
        #include <cds/container/michael_list_rcu.h>

        // my_compare is the same

        // Declare option-based list
        typedef cds::container::MichaelList< cds::urcu::gc< cds::urcu::general_buffered<> >, int,
            typename cds::container::michael_list::make_traits<
                cds::container::opt::compare< my_compare >     // item comparator option
            >::type
        >     option_based_list;
        \endcode

        Template argument list \p Options of cds::container::michael_list::make_traits metafunction are:
        - opt::compare - key comparison functor. No default functor is provided.
            If the option is not specified, the opt::less is used.
        - opt::less - specifies binary predicate used for key comparison. Default is \p std::less<T>.
        - opt::back_off - back-off strategy used. If the option is not specified, the cds::backoff::empty is used.
        - opt::item_counter - the type of item counting feature. Default is \ref atomicity::empty_item_counter that is no item counting.
        - opt::allocator - the allocator used for creating and freeing list's item. Default is \ref CDS_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR macro.
        - opt::memory_model - C++ memory ordering model. Can be opt::v::relaxed_ordering (relaxed memory model, the default)
            or opt::v::sequential_consistent (sequentially consisnent memory model).
        - opt::rcu_check_deadlock - a deadlock checking policy. Default is opt::v::rcu_throw_deadlock

            The argument \p itemValue of user-defined functor \p func is the reference

            The object of \ref value_type should be constructible from \p key of type \p Q.

            The function allows to split creating of new item into two part:
            - create item from \p key with initializing key-fields only;
            - insert new item into the list;
            - if inserting is successful, initialize non-key fields of item by calling \p f functor

            This can be useful if complete initialization of object of \p value_type is heavyweight and
            it is preferable that the initialization should be completed only if inserting is successful.

            Otherwise, if \p key is found, the functor \p func is called with item found.

            The functor \p Func signature is:
