//// Lists are an ordered sequence of elements and are one of the most common
//// data types in Gleam.
////
//// New elements can be added and removed from the front of a list in
//// constant time, while adding and removing from the end requires traversing
//// and copying the whole list, so keep this in mind when designing your
//// programs.
////
//// There is a dedicated syntax for prefixing to a list:
////
//// ```gleam
//// let new_list = [1, 2, ..existing_list]
//// ```
////
//// And a matching syntax for getting the first elements of a list:
////
//// ```gleam
//// case list {
//// [first_element, ..rest] -> first_element
//// _ -> "this pattern matches when the list is empty"
//// }
//// ```
