 /**
+ * Removes a chain of nodes from the linked list.
+ *
+ * If one of the nodes to remove is the begin (resp. end) node of the list and if \p begin (resp. \p end)
+ * addresses are provided, the pointers are adjusted accordingly.
+ *
+ * The following combinations of arguments are valid (more arguments are optional):
+ * \li \p loc_next and \p loc_prev (ancestor node is determined by using the prev pointer, overall O(1) performance)
+ * \li \p loc_next and \p begin (ancestor node is determined by list traversal, overall O(n) performance)
+ *
+ * \remark The \c next and \c prev pointers of the removed node are not cleared by this function and may still be used
+ * to traverse to a former adjacent node in the list, or within the chain.
+ *
+ * @param begin a pointer to the begin node pointer (optional)
+ * @param end a pointer to the end node pointer (optional)
+ * @param loc_prev the location of a \c prev pointer within your node struct (negative if your struct does not have one)
+ * @param loc_next the location of a \c next pointer within your node struct (required)
+ * @param node the start node of the chain
+ * @param num the number of nodes to remove
+ * @return the actual number of nodes that were removed (may be less when the list did not have enough nodes)
