I've changed it to first/last in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deque I'd forgotten about first/last when looking for existing names php used for methods/global functions. The closest I'd seen was in SplDoublyLinkedList, I'd forgotten about https://php.net/array_key_last getting added in php 7.3 (due to it existing for keys but not values) Thanks, Tyson
