Subject: pop/push, shift/unshift

the inconsistency in naming bothers me. :P I would imagine that it
comes from push/pop being older, and shift/unshift being added later
(probably I would guess that both of these are pre-ruby programming
ideas. I know I've seen push/pop before.)

I would like to see either push/pop changed to be
something/unsomething, or shift/unshift changed to be um, visualish
ideas of what's going on (or whatever push/pop is.) my preference
would be push/pop changed to something/unsomething. or maybe
front_add, front_del, back_add, back_del.

just trying to get a gut-grip on these four array processes, and I'm
pushing and popping and shifting and unshifting left and right (and
back and forth?) and it's taking a surprising amount of time to "grok"
them. does anyone think this is a naming convention that could benefit
with some change, or am I just being strange?
