first/last.

They're just the most sensible symbols to use for retrieving the first 
and last element :).

Common Lisp (the Lisp I'm most familiar with) also has 'first', which is 
equivalent to 'car' and the antonym of 'last'.

('car's antonym is 'cdr', 'car' and 'last' are not meant to be paired up 
like this)
