Overview

Represent an empty list, using the Null Object Pattern.

When inheriting from the ::Rake::LinkedList class, you should implement a type specific Empty class as well. Make sure you set the class instance variable @parent to the associated list class (this allows conj, cons and make to work polymorphically).

#empty?

Is the list empty? make guards against a list being empty making any instantiated ::Rake::LinkedList object not empty by default You should consider overriding this method if you implement your own make method.
#head, #tail

#==

Lists are structurally equivalent.
#conj

Polymorphically add a new element to the head of a list.
#each

For each item in the list.
#inspect

Same as #to_s, but with inspected items.
