And excellent point about the lack of a pattern covering list splicing!

An additional instance of this pattern may be found in Thomas Graf's implementation (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/2/35) of Josh Triplett's resizeable hash tables (http://www.usenix.org/event/atc11/tech/final_files/Triple...).

It might take some thought to formulate a pattern for this, but in the meantime I do very much appreciate your calling my attention to it.
