    The List Arrow Class

    This module defines the interface for list arrows.

    A list arrow is a function, that gives a list of results
    for a given argument. A single element result represents a normal function.
    An empty list oven indicates, the function is undefined for the given argument.
    The empty list may also represent False, none empty lists True.
    A list with more than one element gives all results for a nondeterministic function.
