=item B<count>
+Returns the number of elements of the list.

+ $stuff->options(["foo", "bar", "baz", "boo"]);
+
+ my $count = $stuff->count_options;
+ print "$count\n"; # prints 4

+=item B<empty>
+If the list is populated, returns true. Otherwise, returns false.
-=item B<empty>
+ $stuff->do_i_have_options ? print "Good boy.\n" : die "No options!\n" ;
=item B<find>
+Returns the first element that returns true in the anonymous subroutine
+passed as argument.
+
+ my $found = $stuff->find_option( sub { $_[0] =~ /^b/ } );
+ print "$found\n"; # prints "bar"
=item B<grep>
+Returns every elemnt of the list that returns true in the anonymous
+subroutine passed as argument.
+
+ my @found = $stuff->filter_options( sub { $_[0] =~ /^b/ } );
+ print "@found\n"; # prints "bar baz boo"
=item B<map>
+Executes the anonymouse subroutine given as argument sequentially
+for each element of the list.
+
+my @mod_options = $stuff->map_options( sub { $_[0] . "-tag" } );

+
+ my $joined = $stuff->join_options( ':' );
+ print "$joined\n"; # prints "foo:bar:baz:boo"
=item B<get>
+Returns an element of the list by its index.
+
+ my $option = $stuff->get_option(1);
+ print "$option\n"; # prints "bar"
=item B<first>
+Returns the first element.
+
+ my $first = $stuff->first_option;
