Edited out most of the rest because I think we're in agreement and
it's not a huge deal.

And yes, I think it might be nice to just call it "swap_heads()" and
make the naming match what the user wants, so that people who don't
care about the implementation can just guess from the function name.

But I also think that by now it's mostly bikeshedding, and I'm
probably also now biased by the fact that I have looked at that code
and read your explanations so it's all fresh in my mind.

A year from now, when I've forgotten the details, who knows which part
I'd find confusing? ;)
