Re: How about a circular glib list class?

[Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com>]

Hi,

The questions for any new interface are basically:

 1) what are the use-cases; who would use it for what purposes
 2) how common are those use-cases
 3) how hard is it to solve the problem in an add-on 
    library or in the application itself

The answer to 1 affects the interface design, and the answers to 2/3
affects whether it's a reasonable candidate for inclusion in a
general-purpose library.

I don't know the answers for a circular list, I have never had a need
for one, so the first step would be to post some kind of discussion of
when/how such a thing is useful.
