I'm loath to add anything to (ice-9 q) since I find the names, and
the lack of a distinct type, less than satisfactory.

However, if you are going to add them, I'd recommend sticking with the
q- prefix. So, q-append and q-append!. Keeping the naming consistent
means one less exception to remember.

Also, I think it might be wise to add a list->q and q->list, with the
obvious simple implementations

(define (q->list q)
  (car q))

(define (list->q l)
  (if (null? l)
      (make-q)
      (cons l (last-pair l))))
