Comment(by darkrain42):

 The blist code currently has the capability to add arbitrary nodes to the
 tree (with type PURPLE_BLIST_OTHER_NODE), I believe. If that functionality
 is desirable, it would require having something like
 `purple_blist_node_new`, although I do think the type of a node should be
 immutable after creation, so no `set_type`

 Is there a decent use case for adding arbitrary data the list via that
 method?
