Just a question.

FreeBSD has singly-linked version of LIST, and call it SLIST.
What is a suitable name for it ?

	doubly linked	singly linked
			FreeBSD		NetBSD
	--------------	--------------	-------------
	LIST		SLIST		?
	TAILQ		STAILQ		SIMPLEQ
	CIRCLEQ		? (*)		?

	(*) may be SCIRCLEQ, if it is needed.
