If you write a function that takes a _generic_ linked list as a parameter, you'd have a function that refers to just the linked list subrecord, and does only linked list operations to that and the linked nodes.

If you want to write a function that takes a linked list of a specific type as a parameter, you just take in a value of that type. The linked list is baked in, so you can get to the other nodes, and because the type is known, you can get back to the parent type from the linked nodes with fieldParentPtr. How to do that _safely_? I don't think that Zig embraces any Rust-like safe/unsafe dichotomy, so you don't.
