/*
 * This module defines the list abstraction, which enables one to link
 * together arbitrary data structures.  Lists are doubly-linked and
 * circular.  A list contains a header followed by its real members, if
 * any.  (An empty list therefore consists of a single element, the
 * header,  whose nextPtr and prevPtr fields point to itself).  To refer
 * to a list as a whole, the user keeps a pointer to the header; that
 * header is initialized by a call to List_Init(), which creates an empty
 * list given a pointer to a List_Links structure (described below).
 * 
 * The links are contained in a two-element structure called List_Links.
 * A list joins List_Links records (that is, each List_Links structure
 * points to other List_Links structures), but if the List_Links is the
 * first field within a larger structure, then the larger structures are
 * effectively linked together as follows:
 * 
 *            header
 *        (List_Links)             first elt.               second elt.
 *      -----------------       -----------------       -----------------

 *      | - - - - - - - |       |               |       |               |

 * 
 * It is possible to link structures through List_Links fields that are
 * not at the beginning of the larger structure, but it is then necessary
 * to perform pointer arithmetic to find the beginning of the larger
 * structure, given a pointer to some point within it.
 * 
 * A typical structure might be something like:
 * 
 *      typedef struct {
 *                  List_Links links;
 *                  char ch;
 *                  integer flags;
 *      } EditChar;
 *  
 * Before an element is inserted in a list for the first time, it must
 * be initialized by calling the macro List_InitElement().

 *      The List_Insert procedure takes two arguments.  The first argument
 *      is a pointer to the structure to be inserted into a list, and
 *      the second argument is a pointer to the list member after which
 *      the new element is to be inserted.  Macros are used to determine
 *      which existing member will precede the new one.
 *
 *      The List_Move procedure takes a destination argument with the same
 *      semantics as List_Insert.
 *
 *      The following macros define where to insert the new element
 *      in the list:
 *
 *      LIST_AFTER(itemPtr)     --      insert after itemPtr
 *      LIST_BEFORE(itemPtr)    --      insert before itemPtr
 *      LIST_ATFRONT(headerPtr) --      insert at front of list
 *      LIST_ATREAR(headerPtr)  --      insert at end of list
 *
 *      For example, 
 *
 *              List_Insert(itemPtr, LIST_AFTER(otherPtr));
 *
 *      will insert itemPtr following otherPtr in the list containing otherPtr.
