A simple List type that stores its data within a String.

As you can see SlowList is .. slow.
Notice the last test where SlowList is actually faster than the native list.
If the native List type had a dedicated to_string() method it would probably
be faster than SlowList though.
This was a fun project. Sometimes you just need to work on a project without any usage.
