 * List in PJLIB is implemented as doubly-linked list, and it won't require
 * dynamic memory allocation (just as all PJLIB data structures). The list here
 * should be viewed more like a low level C list instead of high level C++ list
 * (which normally are easier to use but require dynamic memory allocations),
 * therefore all caveats with C list apply here too (such as you can NOT put
 * a node in more than one lists).
 *
 * \section pj_list_example_sec Examples
