+ * Traversing a LinkList:
+ * Traversing forward through a list uses an iterator-style paradigm.
+ * for (LinkNode node = firstnode(list); node; incnode(node)) {
+ * // Access/manipulate the node using macros (see zsh.h)
+ * }
+ *
+ * Traversing backwards is the same, with a small caveat.
+ * for (LinkNode node = lastnode(list); node != &list->node; decnode(node)) {
+ * // The loop condition should be obvious given the above diagrams.
+ * }
+ *
+ * If you're going to be moving back and forth, best to AND both
+ * conditions.
+ *
+ * while (node && node != &list->node) {
+ * // If both incnode(list) and decnode(list) are used, and it's
+ * // unknown at which end of the list traversal will stop.
+ * }
+ *
+ * Macros and functions prefixed with 'z' (ie znewlinklist,
+ * zinsertlinknode) use permanent allocation, which you have to free
+ * manually (with freelinklist(), maybe?). Non-z-prefixed
+ * macros/functions allocate from heap, which will be automatically
+ * freed.
