So you suggest that the list type become circular???

That will cause a major ABI incompatibility, as all modules
that use PyList_GET_SIZE need to be recompiled. In addition,
it causes a slow-down for the standard use of lists. So you
would make the general case slower, just to support a
special case. Why are you proposing that?
