They are equivalent when operating on lists, but not so when operating
on vectors (peek = constant time last, pop = log time remove last
element) or queues (peek = first, pop = remove first element returning
a queue -- rest/next would return a seq).

Also, they refuse to work with non-list sequences (try (peek (range))
or (peek (cons :foo ())) at the REPL).

In general, they operate on clojure.lang.IPersistentStack instances.
(That's right, persistent queues implement IPersistentStack.)
