    How critical is this for performance? I know that `append` is O(1) for 
scala mutable lists but `dropRight(1)` is actually implemented in a parent 
class [1] of `MutableList` and therefores does not take advantage of the list's 
reference to its last element. All in all, from it's implementation it seems 
that `dropRight` is O(n)
