How is this related to #1699 ?

I had first tried to implement a queue for the snake's tail using cons and nil functions, with inspiration from #996 (comment). I then saw for myself how the swarm typechecker chokes when attempting to mutate the list.

I may turn this PR into a testcase for cons/nil, or maybe craft a different scenario in which the limited support for cons/nil (i.e. append-only lists) is still enough to solve a challenge.
