It is defined by use of common/speclist.h and common/speclist_c.h
There you will find a generel foo_list_insert_back, which is converted
into a unit_list_insert_back by some magic I didn't study closer, all
described in speclist.h . The result is that it is not directly defined
in the source.
(the smart part is that the same implementation is also turned into a
city_list_insert_back. But it does seem a compared to OO programming)

(yes, beat me too for a while)
