Quite possibly :)

I had forgotten about that particular horror in the code!

One option might be to rename the types according to the kind of
data-structure they implement, especially if fixing the netlist case would
just mean unnecessary duplication.

Since we now use glib, there are probably a lot nicer structures we can use
without open-coding our own. This would be a better approach I suspect.

Feel free to work up an example / proposal / patch, and I'm sure we can get
this cleaned up somewhat.

Peter
