Assign to this object the value of the specified `rhs` object, propagate to this object the allocator of `rhs` if the `ALLOCATOR` type has trait `propagate_on_container_copy_assignment`, and return a reference providing modifiable access to this object. If an exception is thrown, `*this` is left in a valid but unspecified state. This method requires that the (template parameter) type `VALUE` be `copy‐assignable` and `copy‐insertable` into this list. Note that, to the extent possible, existing elements of this list are copy‐assigned to, to minimize the number of nodes that need to be copy‐inserted or erased.
