Hi Aitor et al,

Thinking a little bit about C, and recalling what Reiner explained
earlier, I should think, we can create our own C library to handle
lists as in classes without actually importing more dependencies: for
that we use a struct that has function members, just like a class. Our
implementation shouldn't require class inheritance, so simple
structures should suffice.

What do you think?
