(*) Find the last but one element of a list.

myButLast' x = reverse x !! 1
myButLast'' [x,_] = x
myButLast'' (_:xs) = myButLast'' xs
myButLast''' (x:(_:[])) = x
myButLast''' (_:xs) = myButLast''' xs
myButLast'''' = head . tail . reverse
lastbut1 :: Foldable f => f a -> a
lastbut1 = fst . foldl (\(a,b) x -> (b,x)) (err1,err2)
where
