Is it possible to cycle backwards? If not, what's the best approach?

Example of some ideal "takeBack" function:
data = cycle([1,2,3][])
take(data, 4) is [1,2,3,1][]
takeBack(data, 4) would be [1,3,2,1][]

Thoughts?

I don't think it is currently possible, but it shouldn't be hard to make retro work with cycle

Yep, I've missed three pages of this discussion.

I'd say a bidirectional cycle should be a consistent to the random access version, so popBack becomes essentially a index-- and back == front initially.
