 *  provide fast deletion/insertion/everything-safe asynchronous
 *  walking.
 *
 *  Example:
 *		slist l;
 *		siterator i;
 *		snode *n;
 *
 *	       	s_init(&i, &l);		// Initialize iteration
 *		...
 *		n = s_get(&i);		// Some time later, fetch present
 *					// value of the iterator and unlink it
 *					// from the list.
 *		while (n->next) {
 *		     ...
 *		     if (decided_to_stop) {
 *			s_put(&i, n);	// Store current position (maybe even
 *					// that we stay at list end)
 *			return;		// and return
 *		     }
 *		     ...
 *		}
 *		// After finishing, don't link the iterator back
