So if we used petelomax's suggestion of appenda()/prependa(), then there would be no problem here?

Ugh! No, please.

We would have append()/prepend() when the first argument must only be a sequence and appenda()/prependa() when the first argument can be any object. That arrangement, I predict, would be more confusing and more likely to introduce errors in code, plus people would tend to just use the newer functions anyway.
