0(a0).w is the maximum number of entries the list can accomodate at its
current size. If it needs to grow beyond this number of entries, its memory
block will be enlarged. Conversely, if the number of unused entries at the
end of the list exceeds a certain number, its memory block will be
shrunken. 0(a0).w will then be adjusted accordingly.
