The invariants of the obxxx list members should be clearly specified somewhere and we should stick to them.

Yes.

E.g. it is unclear to me why we allow listassslice() to reset obitem to NULL and obsize to 0 without resetting oballocated to 0 -- I see why it doesn't crash in a subsequent listresize(), but it looks messy.

Well, "a mistake" would be my guess .

Cheers, mwh
