/**
 * A {@code List} implementation that stores a cache of internal Node objects
 * in an effort to reduce wasteful object creation.
 * <p>
 * A linked list creates one Node for each item of data added. This can result in
 * a lot of object creation and garbage collection. This implementation seeks to
 * avoid that by maintaining a store of cached nodes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This implementation is suitable for long-lived lists where both add and remove
 * are used. Short-lived lists, or lists which only grow will have worse performance
 * using this class.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong>
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <E> the type of the elements in the list.
 * @since 3.0
 * @deprecated parent {@link AbstractLinkedList} is source incompatible with List methods added in Java 21
