List.last' and List.head?

Stream: Is there code for X?

[Xavier Xarles]

When one has a list L, then docs#List.last' gives you either the last element of the list, or none if the list is empty. If one wants the same but for the first element of the list, is it true that the equivalent version is docs#List.head? ? As there is no explanation, I am not completely sure...

Note that List.last' has been deprecated in favour of List.getLast?. So it's not quite as inconsistent as it first looks. :-)
