Arrays, lists, .... I understand the difference, Luke.

Luke,  I'm am going to affense at this statement.
I do not randomly replace code.  That's all I'm 
going to say.

Fine.  Point taken.  I'm not arguing about lists vs. 
arrays.  I'm saying that the use of abusive use void 
pointers to functions in util_array, IMO, makes it 
nearly unreadable.  So if I can provide a better 
implementation of the same thing, why complain?
