GASP! That's no fair!

1) When using pop you normally want to keep the mutability available,
so iter(mylist) is a no-go.
2) When using the index, it's often somewhere in the middle that
you're popping from
3) There's always deque for deques

That said you can always use blist which has O(log n) time complexity
for these pops. It's a hassle it's not stdlib :/.
