I like this idea, but "frr" is downright inconsistent with the rest of the language. What if we do something like this:
~foreach( x; arr )
While reducing keystrokes, recycling a unary operator also cuts down keyword bloat. My only concern is that it might be too subtle. I suspect that for non-English users, there would be few tears shed over the death of "foreach_reverse."
Ultimately, the best option might be to do as Tom S. and others have suggested and simply axe it entirely. Using a clever template you could actually implement a very efficient reverse foreach within the standard library.
