If you have to do it, better use rlist, rlist_del(e) rlist_add(e),
this will make sure there are no cycles and the cost is constant.

cause and effect can be just wrappers around rlist_prev/next, if
you have to. But error stack is not always cause and effect:
imagine an SQL update which runs a bunch of triggers which all set
add some errors to the diag, which one of these triggers errors is
the cause of update error?.
