> But why couldn't a delegate be written for reverse iteration?
So put the semantics in the delegate name, instead of expecting the user to
always use the correct one of the two semantically-opposite but actually
synonymous keywords. This can easily become a point of confusion, and I'm
surprised I need to elaborate in so much detail why this is plain bad.
What's wrong with writing it like this?
foreach (v; &foo.reverseIterator) { ... }
If you start writing it like this:
foreach_reverse (v; &foo.reverseIterator)
Sooner or later someone will forget the second "reverse", the code will look
and compile right, and work wrong!
