Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, if you want to add an element then get it's reference, you need to first call _push_back, then _get_ref(_count(list) - 1), _back returns a copy, so we can't use that. This is quite verbose.
Describe the solution you'd like
it would be useful if we had an _push_back_ref, function, which is like _push_back, but it returns the pointer instead of a bool.
Maybe a _back_ref
Not sure if expanding the API surface is worth it, but it might be worth considering.
