It is up to your application how it decides to use GLists.  The
functions in glib assume non-circular lists; for example,
g_list_length() will loop infinitely if you pass it a list with loops.

This does not forbid you from being careful about how links are
assembled; you can very well have circular lists by using GList
structures.
