+Step 1
+The compiler's message should help: since we cannot store the value of the actual type
+when working with recursive types, we need to store a reference (pointer) to its value.
+We should, therefore, place our `List` inside a `Box`. More details in the book here:
+https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-01-box.html#enabling-recursive-types-with-boxes
+
+Step 2
+Creating an empty list should be fairly straightforward (hint: peek at the assertions).
+For a non-empty list keep in mind that we want to use our Cons "list builder".
+Although the current list is one of integers (i32), feel free to change the definition
+and try other types!
