What do you think of list_head() and list_tail() instead?
set_union list_union
set_ptrUnion list_union_ptr
list_union_int not currently used
set_uniono list_union_oid
I don't see the need for anything more than set_difference() and set_difference_ptr() -- if we're passed a T_IntList or a T_OidList, we can examine the list tag and do the Right Thing automagically. ISTM we only need the xxx_int() and xxx_oid() variants when something in the function's signature depends on the type of the list's elements.
set_difference list_difference
set_ptrDifference list_difference_ptr

set_differenceo list_difference_oid
