Destructive form of "cons" - efficiently prepending an item to a procedure's argument which is a list

Hello,

I was looking to destructively and efficiently modify a list that was passed in as an argument to a procedure, by prepending an item to the list.

I noticed that cons lets you do this efficiently, but the operation is non-destructive. Hence this wouldn't work if you are trying to modify a function's list parameter in place.

Here is an example of trying to add "0" to the front of a list:

procedure( attempt_to_prepend_list(l elem)
    l = cons(elem l)
)
a = list(1 2 3)
==> (1 2 3)
attempt_to_prepend_list(a 0)
==> (0 1 2 3)
a
==> (1 2 3)
As we can see, the original list is not prepended.
Here is a function though which achieves the desired result while being efficient. Namely, the following function does not create any new lists and only uses fast methods like cons, rplacd, and rplaca
procedure( prepend_list(l elem)
    ; cons(car(l) cdr(l)) results in a new list with the car(l) duplicated
    ; we then replace the cdr of l so that we are now pointing to this new list
    rplacd(l cons(car(l) cdr(l)))

    ; we replace the previously duplicated car(l) with the element we want
    rplaca(l elem)
)
a = list(1 2 3)
==> (1 2 3)
prepend_list(a 0)
==> (0 1 2 3)
a
==> (0 1 2 3)
This works for me, but I find it surprising there is no built-in function to do this. Am I perhaps overlooking something in the documentation? I know that tconc is an efficient and destructive way to append items to the end of a list, but there isn't an equivalent for the front of the list?
