toe() ?! tail() good, rear() not so good, toe() sucks.
tail() is no good because it has a well-established meaning in
programming of being everything but the first element of a list. I
just didn't like rear(), as it is not normally thought of as the
opposite of head().
What was the reason for the use of body parts in the first place?
What's wrong with:
a) begin, end
b) start, finish
c) initial, final
d) first, last
etc...
There doesn't really need to be anything wrong with them. What's
wrong with head/toe?
It sounds stupid.
I agree that its ugly. Although, be prepared to see it turn into just another
feature that we're going to have to get used to. :)
