I think what would be really handy would be a HOWTO on linked lists
that showed the different options and tradeoffs and how to implement
and use at least a few different ones, and showed why they’re useful
with examples. (And also showed why the Sequence/Iterable API can be
helpful but also why it’s not sufficient.)
Isn't the point that you should be approaching a datastructure in Python
thinking about what you want it to do, not how it's implemented
underneath? That sort of micromanagement smacks of premature optimisation.
