Fair enough. I'd be just as happy to implement a new queue container. I think we need to keep (ice-9 q) around for compatibility, though, so I'm tempted to say we should go ahead and make it as good as it can be.

However, if you are going to add them, I'd recommend sticking with the
q- prefix. So, q-append and q-append!. Keeping the naming consistent
means one less exception to remember.

Also, I think it might be wise to add a list->q and q->list, with the
obvious simple implementations

You're right. :-)
