In a discussion with Andres on the hash grouping sets review thread, I
proposed that we should have something of the form

#define lfirst_node(_type_, l) (castNode(_type_,lfirst(l)))

to replace the current idiom of

    foreach(l, blah)
    {
        SomeType *x = (SomeType *) lfirst(l);

(in my code I tend to omit the (SomeType *), which I dislike because it
adds no real protection)

by

    foreach(l, blah)
    {
        SomeType *x = lfirst_node(SomeType, l);

in order to get that IsA check in there in a convenient way.
