I would like to request the following function be added to subr.el:

(defun add-several-to-list (list-var &rest elements)
  "Add to LIST-VAR all ELEMENTS."
  (dolist (element (reverse elements))
    (add-to-list list-var element)))

This is useful in adding many items to configuration variables without
duplication, while keeping the same order, and avoiding repeated calls
to add-to-list.
