Surely it's unintuitive for a double-circularly-linked list (like list.h provides) to have "next" and "prev" pointers, since these suggest that repeated use won't eventually reach the starting point. It would be much more clear with ->deosil and ->widdershins.

In the all great UNIX tradition, I would spell that ->deosi and ->widder for extra fun. In fact I'm going to code right now a doubly linked list just to do that and confuse some sucker (most probably myself) from the future!

In FORTRAN tradition, I really did once use two variables called SINIST and DEXTER, because LEFT isn't real.
Cheers,

Make that ->deos and ->widd and you don't even have to realign your code!
