Arg! About 2/3's of my reply to this seems to have gotten cut off. Perhaps
that's not such a bad thing, but I really should address John's second point.

If we do this for the end insertion/deletion routines, we bias this package
towards being either a stack or a queue (stack if they are both the same value).
I suppose one possible middle postion would be to default insertion to go on the
"back", but not to put a default on remove.
"Side" wouldn't seem to have a natural default either.
"Next" probably should have a default. I'd think "Toward=>Lists.Back" would be
the natural one. Defaulting the end insertion routine to use "Back" would put
more teeth in this argument.
The rest have defaults already.
