`nreverse` efficiently does what is supposed to do, yes.  But it is
O(l), where l is the length of the list arg.

In addition, the newly created `nreverse'd list must be garbage
collected.

The `copy-sequence' call in `front' is bad for the same reason.

OTOH nfront can be implemented in O(n), where n is the number argument
to nfront.


Michael.
