Why use a doubly-linked-list here? An allocating xarray should perform

We don't expect the list to be too long. So we may not gain any
significant
advantage in terms of performance or memory when using alternate
lists. Since
linked list easier to use, we chose it.
Also even if it was long it wouldn't matter because this isn't a fast
path at all.
All that matters it to write the code as clearly as possible.
