Fortunately, that opinion seems to be shared with even the top D people, 
AIUI. The 'foreach_reverse' dates back from long before ranges. With D2, 
using 'foreach' over a reversable range is generally the preferred way to 
go. I wouldn't be surprised to see 'foreach_reverse' dissapear at some 
point.
