Hello,

This patch should really be split into more patches (adding some
methods to the Node class, adding the SegmentList class, SegmentBase
class, Additions to the Chunk class)
One question among others : do we need a Segment and a Chunk class? I
fail to see why they couldn't be merged.

Regards,
