The existing list.pop() API is similar (though it takes an index
value instead of a boolean):
mylist.pop() # default case: pop from last
mylist.pop(0) # other case: pop from first
pop() is somewhat different, because there is an infinite
range of possible values for the index parameter.
Here there are only two possibilites, though, and it's
unlikely that code will want to dynamically select between
them -- so the "no constant parameters" guideline would seem
to apply.
