Its less to type, but in this case its important, as it really is
indicating directionality.  If it was just get-value or such, it
wouldn't convey the message that its retrieving a very specific value
from the collection, the left most or least precedent.

*-left provides a symmetry that the *-right functions can compare
themselves against.
