`foreach_reverse` is allowed for delegates and do what

the only one for some obscure reason definitely for not

big red note in docs about it. As always, this is even more
error-prone for highly templated language like D (i.e. one can
expect in template `foreach_reverse` will not compile if
reverse iteration isn't supported).
Petition for all not indifferent to language misfeatures to
chime in and show in this thread we all are for deprecating it
(if we really are).

Thanks.
I don't use foreach_reverse and don't intend to. I allowing
delegates is error prone if it is just going to do what foreach
does.
