sl is a memory-efficient generic linked list library. It doesn't use container nodes.

Instead it requires a pointer to the next item directly in the datastructure you want to create lists (or stacks) of. This can give you significant memory savings when creating long lists of small structures.

It also allows for fast push and pop operations since there is no need to allocate or free memory for the container nodes. It also means that a push can't fail because memory couldn't be allocated for the container node.
