Currently, list.reverse() only works for an entire list. If one wants to
reverse a section of it 'in-place', one needs to slicing which makes the space
complexity no longer O(1). One can also manually make a loop and do the
reversal but that is even slower than slicing. List.reverse() does not take any
arguments. Wouldn't it be a good if it can take in parameters such as 'start'
and 'stop' to enable list.reverse() work even for a section of the list? When
no arguments are specified, then it works on the whole list, like usual.
