You don't really need 'prepend' because 'append' doesn't have to mean at
the back. Thus you could append at the beginning just as well (though
this use is not as common).  The meaning of 'append' is just to
attach to the outside of something. [Sorry, I don't think I made those
sentences very well; must be sleep dep].
