Nice! I'm adding Pete, who worked on NodeList to ensure it's good, but
everything else lgtm with the comments.

Is it indeed a list-like type
NodeList is special because it is fully list-like and used just as a list, but
also RadioNodeList extends from it and adds additional methods, so it can't
completely go away.

80 char here and at 1065 if you guys are paying attention to that.

Here's what I see in generated files:
  abstract class RadioNodeList implements List<Node>
and
  class _RadioNodeListImpl extends _NodeListImpl implements RadioNodeList
So NodeList interface seems not to be used at all. Is it a bug?

Also NodeList only declares filter, getRange, get:first and get:length members
so it probably adds nothing to List<Node> interface.

Yes, we do. Thanks for spotting!

comment is somewhat at odds with the name of the class: you promise here
built-in dart type, but class name is ListLike.
