Functionality for merging two lists
While I'm working on the List API, I should add some functionality for merging together two Lists; i.e. append_all() and prepend_all() methods (or similar). std::vec::Vec has this sort of method, so I probably should implement them as well.
As a nice side note, if there was a List.append_all() method, this would mean that I could use List exclusively in the compiler (rather than Vec). This would remove the overhead of converting Vecs of instructions to Lists before program execution, which obviously has some performance implications in line-by-line interpreter mode. Also, I like the idea of eating my own dog food, especially as there aren't many places in the compiler where I actually benefit from Vec's better performance (there's very little random access).
