  * Inline lists have their purposes, but if you don't know what those purposes are, go with

+ * Tip: When using inlists in more than one place (that is, passing them around
+ * functions or keeping a pointer to them in a structure) it's more correct
+ * to keep a pointer to the first container, and not a pointer to the first
+ * inlist item (mostly they are the same, but that's not always correct).
+ * This lets the compiler to do type checking and let the programmer know
