Maybe so.  Perhaps we should look at some real use cases before
designing an append-to-list accumulating facility.

One thing that these generally need is a way to discard old elements.
We don't want history lists and logs to grow without bound.
The usual case is that normal operation adds to them, but something
or other truncates then occasionally.
