Landon Curt Noll a31078bbec Remove all RCS @(#) lines and RCS strings
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!?  And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)

Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.

RCS served us well.  But now it is time to move on.   And so we are
switching to git.

Calc releases produce a lot of file changes.  In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
push - push one or more values into the front of a list
SYNOPSIS
push(x, y_0, y_1, ...)
TYPES
x lvalue whose value is a list
y_0, ... any
return null value
DESCRIPTION
If after evaluation of y_0, y_1, ..., x is a list with
contents (x_0, x_1, ...), then after push(x, y_0, y_1, ..., y_n-1),
x has contents (y_n-1, ..., y_1, y_0, x_0, x_1, ...), i.e. the
values of y_0, y_1, ... are inserted in succession at the beginning
of the list.
This function is equivalent to insert(x, 0, y_n-1, ..., y_1, y_0).
EXAMPLE
; A = list(2,"three")
; print A
list (2 elements, 2 nonzero):
[[0]] = 2
[[1]] = "three"
; push(A, 4i, 7^2)
; print A
list (4 elements, 4 nonzero):
[[0]] = 49
[[1]] = 4i
[[2]] = 2
[[3]] = "three"
; push (A, pop(A), pop(A))
; print A
list (4 elements, 4 nonzero):
[[0]] = 4i
[[1]] = 49
[[2]] = 2
[[3]] = "three"
LIMITS
push() can have at most 100 arguments
