Not all that useful, IMHO. Some of it just involves aliasing,
most of the other stuff is for handling stacks and similar
data structure. The main problem here is that making the
beginning of the series the top of the stack is a Bad Idea,
because it makes push/pop O(n) (except for list!).

There is also the problem that a lot of useful, short words
would be reserved for something that provides little added
functionality. We usually like to reserve such words for
more "fundamental" features.
