Difference is, retro lazily iterates in reverse order, while 
reverse eagerly reverses in-place.

Don't worry about asking questions - it's a good way to learn, 
and we like helping. :) Immutable is not very well supported 
everywhere in the library, sadly. It seems an important building 
block would be something like Reassignable!T, which would hold a 
struct with immutable members, and still be reassignable with 
different values.
