[erlang-patches] Add lists:init/1 - got tired of implementing it

[Siri Hansen]

We haven't yet made any decision regarding this patch, but we have had some
discussions in the team and we are not totally convinced about the general
need for this function. Thus we would appreciate some input from the list.

So - disregarding the name and the implementation for a second - is this
functionality a good addition to the lists module? Is it often needed?

If so, would it be even better to do a more general version which removes
the N last elements from the list?

Hans, could you also possibly describe some of your use cases?
