I don't wholly object it. I think it's fine but can be improved.

I tend to be more inclined on this side though:

mylist = list.linkedlist(data) # or list<othersymbol>linkedlist(data)
as syntax sugar for
mylist = list(data, implementation = 'linkedlist')

this kinds of syntax magnify the fact that linkedlist is a choice of 
implementation for list abstract type. The current syntax makes no 
indication whatsoever that linkedlist is anything related to list.
