+ * and an item.
+ * A link is what is put into and removed from a list, an item is the whole
+ * object that contains the link. The item doesn't have to be begin with a
+ * link; the offset to the link structure is given to init_list_etc(), so that
+ * list_get_next/prev_item() will work correctly.
+ * Note, the offset value is only needed for the *_item() functions. If the
+ * offset is 0, list_link and item are identical - if you use init_list(),
+ * you don't have to care about the difference between a link and an item.
