Incorrectness in boost::geometry::model::polygon documentation

Description
The PointList template argument description in polygon model page http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/reference/models/model_polygon.html says that std::list container can also be used to hold vertices. In reality - it is not possible, because of Ring Concept limitations.
So, to reproduce the error, simply add std::list to the template argument list in the sample on the same page. Actually the compilation will error out even for the initialization of polygon with points with append(). Even if polygon is populated with vertices in some other ways (simply calling push_back()) the sample compilation will fail on area() call.

Thanks!
I removed
std::list
from example container types.
