Remove it.
It's slightly misnamed (other operations named 'last' refer to the current last
element, this one adds a new one) and redundant.
Adding at the end is what lists are all about.

I still don't think 'view' signifies something inherently read-only. A view is
just something backed by something else. There is nothing preventing a "view"
from being write-through. I would prefer 'asUnmodifiable'

Please use "unmodifiable" consistently about collections that can't be modified.
