Or you could recurse :)
Either way, you need memory.
I think we have two legitimate options:
1. Fix foreach_reverse .byKey so it does the same thing as foreach
2. Make foreach_reverse illegal on all cases of aa.
I lean towards 2.
The goal should be consistency. Making the thing actually work in reverse I
think is not possible.
