We decided to get rid of the MXAH 'first', because anyone who wants it can get
it (likewise 'last'):

  handles => {
    first_thingy => [ get =>  0 ],
    last_thingy  => [ get => -1 ],
  }

Native::Array->first now matches List::Util.

head and tail were briefly in, but are now gone.

As far as I know, nothing else needs to be done for this branch.  Jesse, Chris,
or Shawn -- anything I missed?

hdp.
