If you're not expecting null node.value, I suggest putting
assert(value != null) before adding to the LinkedList, and
putting assert(node.value != null) after reading from it.

Personally, there are many times when assert reveals my own
lapses after 100% sure that the Vala compiler must be buggy :-)

C++ would do that. I don't think that is the Vala's way.
Vala's generics are not "instantiated" into specifics.
They remain generics in the compiled version. (Unless
I've totally misunderstood Vala's generics).
