/* Doubly linked list implementation enforcing typing.

   This implementation of doubly linked list tries to achieve the enforcement of
   typing similarly to C++ templates, but without encapsulation.

   All the functions are prefixed with the type of the value: "AType_xxx".
   Some functions are prefixed with "_AType_xxx" and are not part of the public
   API, so should not be used, except for _##LTYPE##_merge_sort with a caveat
   (see note above its definition).

   Each function (### is a placeholder for method name) has a macro for:
   (1) its invocation LINKED_LIST_###(LTYPE).
   (2) its prototype LINKED_LIST_DECL_###(A, A2, scope). To add in a header
       file, or a source file for forward declaration. 'scope' should be set
       respectively to 'extern', or 'static'.
   (3) its definition LINKED_LIST_DEFN_###(A, A2, scope). To add in a source
       file with the 'scope' set respectively to nothing, or 'static' depending
       on (2).

   Data structures requirements:
   - LTYPE corresponds to the node of a doubly linked list. It needs to define
     attributes 'prev' and 'next' which are pointers on the type of a node.
     For instance:
       struct my_list_node
       {
	 T value;
	 struct my_list_node *prev;
	 struct my_list_node *next;
       };
   - LWRAPPERTYPE is a structure wrapping the nodes and others metadata (first,
     last, size).
