For me it seems natural that if I can access the value from x.first I 
would also be able to update x.first.

It's not a great deal but first and last read better that [0] and [-1] 
and I would like to use them all the time without forever having to 
overload the array class.

I can live with it but having been away from Ruby for a bit this is the 
first thing I tripped up on (other than the use of ; to end lines!)
