/// A linked list.
///
/// All elements in this linked list will be [`ListArc`] references to the value. Since a value can
/// only have one `ListArc` (for each pair of prev/next pointers), this ensures that the same
/// prev/next pointers are not used for several linked lists.
///
/// # Invariants
///
/// * If the list is empty, then `first` is null. Otherwise, `first` points at the `ListLinks`
///   field of the first element in the list.
/// * All prev/next pointers in `ListLinks` fields of items in the list are valid and form a cycle.
/// * For every item in the list, the list owns the associated [`ListArc`] reference and has
///   exclusive access to the `ListLinks` field.
