Im not quite sure how to decide about wether to use a struct or a class for a linked list im making. Each node encapsulates a cvar for a quake like console. The advantages of a class is that i dont need to use pointer syntax, cos everything is by reference anyway. But its gonna be a light weight object so maybe i should use a struct?

Also you might consider making it a template so you can reuse it. ie instead of having cvar at each node, allow the user to specify anything.
