/*
 * Declaration of a generic, undirected list for the "Datastructures
 * and algorithms" courses at the Department of Computing Science,
 * Umea University. The list stores void pointers, so it can be used
 * to store all types of values. After use, the function list_kill
 * must be called to de-allocate the dynamic memory used by the list
 * itself. The de-allocation of any dynamic memory allocated for the
 * element values is the responsibility of the user of the list,
 * unless a free_function is registered in list_empty.
