So I never have to write those again.
I thought everyone hated foreach_reverse!
But, yeah, foreach and ranges+algorithms have virtually
eliminated a large category of looping bugs.
Well yeah, it is kind of ugly looking, and a language construct
for that when we have retro in phobos...
foreach_reverse is essentially dead weight in the spec.
