+# `cons` and `tail` for maps `Fin n →₀ M`
+
+We interpret maps `Fin n →₀ M` as `n`-tuples of elements of `M`,
+We define the following operations:
+* `Finsupp.tail` : the tail of a map `Fin (n + 1) →₀ M`, i.e., its last `n` entries;
+* `Finsupp.cons` : adding an element at the beginning of an `n`-tuple, to get an `n + 1`-tuple;
+
+In this context, we prove some usual properties of `tail` and `cons`, analogous to those of
+`Data.Fin.Tuple.Basic`.
