Contributions summary:Nick primarily focused on enhancing the data structures library. They added functionality to existing data structures, allowing accumulators to accept AbstractDicts and integrated a `peek` function. Further contributions involved updating the code base by replacing `import` with `using` and deprecating reverse iteration to `Iterators.reverse`. They also implemented the `last` function for the `Stack` data structure and integrated related tests.
