> With a Cursor one can seek back and forth through a list and get the current element. With a CursorMut One can seek back and forth and get mutable references to elements, and it can insert and delete elements before and behind the current element (along with performing several list operations such as splitting and splicing).

*Current element*? This cursor is *on* elements, not between them! I can't believe they didn't accept my totally rock-solid argument! So yeah you can just go use the Cursor in std... wait, it's [2022, and Rust 1.60 still has Cursor marked as unstable](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.60.0/std/collections/linked_list/struct.CursorMut.html)?

The std API talks about operations before "before" (towards the front) and "after" (towards the back), and instead of `next` and `next_back`, it... calls things `move_next` and `move_prev`. HRM. Ok so they're getting into a bit of the iterator terminology, but at least `next` doesn't evoke front/back, and helps you orient how things behave compared to the iterators.

We can work with this.
