In fact, there is an implementation of doubly-linked lists, see insque
and remque. Balanced binary search trees are provided with tsearch and
related functions. For hash tables, see hsearch_r.
These interfaces are old and somewhat difficult to use, but I expect it
will be difficult to get consensus for a new set of interfaces because
everyone looks for something different in a container library.
Thanks,
Florian
