Description

Many, but not all, List definitions have tail-recursive versions either in Lean or in Std.

Once we have finished moving as much about List as we intend to from Std to Lean, we should review for consistent coverage of tail-recursive versions (with @[csimp] lemmas.

Research direction

Review the List definitions in Lean and Std after the planned migration work is complete. Compare the available definitions for consistent tail-recursive coverage, including the associated @[csimp] lemmas. Done means the review identifies and addresses missing versions consistently across the intended List definitions.
