Hi,

insert(0, 1) behaves like insert(-1, 1). It is better, but
insert(1) would be best. 

This is not about the functionality, but about the beauty of python.

Would be nice if handling lists like queues and stacks would be a bit
better. 

I know it is not important, I just wanted to know if I have overlooked
something and would you think about it.
