Have you thought of perhaps not adding them at all?


Collection.add() for:

List(s) - behaves the same as addLast()

LinkedHashSet - behaves the same as addLast()

Deque - behaves the same as addLast()


So for all ReversibleCollection(s) where it works, addLast() would be 
equivalent to add()


addFirst(x) can be written as: reversed().add(x) if reversed() is 
specified to return a reversed view over the underlying 
ReversibleCollection.
