Would appreciate an alternative addressee for this.

I propose the added feature for head and tail (GNU textutils) of 
inverted functioning by the use of the "-x" flag.

e.g.:

 > cat file.txt
1
2
3
 > head -1 file.txt
1
 > head -1 -x file.txt
2
3
 >

and equivalently for tail.

It's a simple addition, and would be very useful for grabbing the other 
part of a file for either util.
