This would be useful for head and tail access.

Our library supports Java 1.5, so we can't use Deque. :(

Issue 288 asks for LinkedListMultimap.values() to return a List.
http://code.google.com/p/google-collections/issues/detail?id=288

That would provide the relevant Deque functionality, since you could then 
retrieve a 
ListIterator pointing to the end of the list:
  multimap.values().listIterator(multimap.size());

A ListIterator is less convenient than a Deque, but at least it's feasible with 
Java 
5.

@Deque, right my mistake. Will use ListIterator as workaround. Thanks!
