How to forward declare a template class in namespace std?

#ifndef __TEST__
#define __TEST__

namespace std
{
    template<typename T>
    class list;
}

template<typename T>
void Pop(std::list<T> * l)
{
    while(!l->empty())
        l->pop();
}

#endif

and used that function in my main. I get errors. Of course, I know that there are more template params for std::list (allocator I think). But, that is beside the point. Do I have to know the full template declaration of a template class to be able to forward declare it?

EDIT: I wasn't using a pointer before - it was a reference. I'll try it out with the pointer.
