I think the point Victor is making is that with the rich set of
container classes in C++ (including the vector class), using a linked
list in this fashion is, IMHO, rather silly and redundant, and make
for some ugly code on top of that. The vector class provides a lot of
the same functionality (more, actually) than a linked list.

Why not? Usually the simplest solution *is* the best one. I feel sorry
for the person that has to debug a statement like:
struct s* next = &(*vsitr);
