Misleading Javadocs?

Hi Ian, I agree it's misleading. I'll change the summary. Note that the full docs already imply that a new collection is returned:

returns

a new collection of type That consisting of elem followed by all elements of this linked list.

Cheers

Consider the function ":+" in scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList.
The documentation says "Appends an element to this linked list"
However in actuality it doesn't modify the LinkedList, rather it returns a new LinkedList with the element appended to it.
Isn't this misleading, or outright incorrect?
Ian.
