There are many implementations of such things. Data.Sequence is one. You
can also make an implementation that has O(1) cons, snoc, and append, but
that's rather tricky and has a large constant factor.

The function (++) :: [x] -> [x] -> [x] has O(n) complexity.
If somebody were to invent some type that looks like [x] but actually uses some sort of tree rather than a linked list, you should be able to get O(1) concatenation. Has anybody ever implemented such a thing?
