I'd have to extend simple_list to add a generic object version, like


struct my_list_elem
{
    PG_SIMPLE_LIST_ATTRS;
    mytype mycol;
    myothertype myothercol;
}

Objections?

I could add a void* version that's a simple clone of the string version,
but having to malloc both a list cell and its contents separately is
annoying.
