Is there any particular reason not to use pg_list.h for this?
Sure. The type cache lookup has to be as much optimal as possible.
Using an array and relating sequential access to it, we avoid memory
allocations and deallocations 99.9% of the time. Also, quick access to
the single element (which we will have in real life almost all of the
time) is much faster than employing list machinery.
