/**
* Adds elements from one collection to the beginning of another collection.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   If the input collection is a typed array, the output value does not equal the input reference and the underlying `ArrayBuffer` may *not* be the same as the `ArrayBuffer` belonging to the input view.
* -   For purposes of generality, always treat the output collection as distinct from the input collection.
*
* @param collection1 - collection
* @param collection2 - collection containing elements to add
* @returns updated collection
*
* @example
* var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
*
* arr = prepend( arr, [ 6.0, 7.0 ] );
* // returns [ 6.0, 7.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
*
* @example
* var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
*
* var arr = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
* // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
*
* arr = prepend( arr, [ 6.0, 7.0 ] );
* // returns <Float64Array>[ 6.0, 7.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
