I don't know about other applications, but I'm doing geometric
modeling. 
Polygons, for instance, like circular lists.

Not the most common, I'm afraid, unless someone else has another class
of apps to add.

Well, lists aren't hard.  I would like to use some other glib data
types though, so it would be a shame to have an app-level
implementation of a circular list mixed in.  (From an aesthetic
perspective)
