/*
 * I admit the list structure is very tricky and also somewhat awkward,
 * but it's both efficient and easy to manipulate once one understands the
 * basic trick: The list head always contains two synthetic nodes which are
 * always present in the list: the head and the tail. But as the `next'
 * entry of the tail and the `prev' entry of the head are both NULL, the
 * nodes can overlap each other:
 *
 *     head    head_node.next
 *     null    head_node.prev  tail_node.next
 *     tail                    tail_node.prev
