/*
 * The previous List implementation, since it used a separate palloc chunk
 * for each cons cell, had the property that adding or deleting list cells
 * did not move the storage of other existing cells in the list.  Quite a
 * bit of existing code depended on that, by retaining ListCell pointers
 * across such operations on a list.  There is no such guarantee in this
 * implementation, so instead we have debugging support that is meant to
 * help flush out now-broken assumptions.  Defining DEBUG_LIST_MEMORY_USAGE
 * while building this file causes the List operations to forcibly move
 * all cells in a list whenever a cell is added or deleted.  In combination
 * with MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING and/or Valgrind, this can usually expose
 * broken code.  It's a bit expensive though, as there's many more palloc
 * cycles and a lot more data-copying than in a default build.
 *
 * By default, we enable this when building for Valgrind.
