Excerpts from Andres Freund's message of jue jun 28 14:20:59 -0400 2012:

> Looks good now?

The one thing I dislike about this code is the names you've chosen. I
mean, ilist_s_stuff and ilist_d_stuff. I mean, why not just Slist_foo
and Dlist_bar, say? As far as I can tell, you've chosen the "i" prefix
because it's "integrated" or "inline", but this seems to me a rather
irrelevant implementation detail that's of little use to the callers.

Also, I don't find so great an idea to have everything in a single file.
Is there anything wrong with separating singly and doubly linked lists
each to its own file? Other than you not liking it, I mean. As a
person who spends some time trying to untangle header dependencies, I
would appreciate keeping stuff as lean as possible. However, since
nobody else seems to have commented on this, maybe it's just me.
