 * These functions are designed to create, destroy, and modify lists of
 * type alpm_list_t. This is an internal list type used by libalpm that is
 * publicly exposed for use by frontends if desired.
 *
 * It is exposed so front ends can use it to prevent the need to reimplement
 * lists of their own; however, it is not required that the front end uses
 * it.
