Sometimes I use LINQ .First() and .Skip(1) to handle this ... This can give a relatively clean (and very readable) solution.

Using you example,

  append (x);
}

[This assumes there is at least one element in the array, an easy test to add if that's to be avoided.]

Use F# would be another suggestion :-)
