Adding a new function instead of extending the existing ones makes
sense, as this is a rare requirement.

Why pass an elemtype pointer to the callback function instead of
a plain elemtype?  Because it matches the return type of _at() and
_peek().  Consistency, good.  Handing it a pointer allows the
callback to pass it on to free(), though, which would be bad,
since we do that in clear_() as well.  Hmm.

Why FREE_AND_NULL?  The original loop below called free().  The slabs
are all released by deep_clear_() immediately after the callbacks are
done anyway, so what's the point in zeroing these pointers?

What a relief!
