Hi!

At the moment, there does not seem to be an easy way to retrieve the node
of the first or the last element in a list.

This is useful if the list has to be traversed while nodes are added
because an iterator cannot be used here.

What is currently possible is to use get_first/set_first (and
get_last/set_last) to get hold of the first (and last) node but this is
clearly a hack.

Another way to get hold of the first node is to create an iterator and to
call its next procedure just once. But this is overkill if the iterator
isn't used afterward.

What I want to propose is to allow the NULL value in
gl_next_node/gl_previous_node. In this case, gl_next_node shall return the
first node and gl_previous_node shall return the last node.

Thanks,

Marc
