* @brief These functions provide inline list management.
*
* Inline lists mean its nodes pointers are part of same memory as
* data. This has the benefit of framenting memory less and avoiding
* @c node->data indirection, but has the drawback of elements only
* being able to be part of one single inlist at same time. But it is
* possible to have inlist nodes to be part of regular lists created
* with eina_list_append() or eina_list_prepend().
*
* Inline lists have its purposes, but if you don't know them go with
* regular lists instead.
*
* @code

* EINA_INLIST;

*
* eina_init();

*
* d = malloc(sizeof(*d));
* d->a = 3;
* d->b = 30;
* list = eina_inlist_prepend(list, EINA_INLIST_GET(d));
*
* printf("list=%p\n", list);
