It might be quite similar, but it will be little things, so you would 
only be abstracting one or two lines of complexity. Once we get the 
first few down, it will just be a matter of looking at the ones that 
work and make all other functions do the same sort of thing. Like for 2) 
every time you unlink you also block. 1) will that a bit more thought.
