To achieve the functionality of

foreach_reverse (r) { ... }

use

foreach (retro(r)) { ... }

using retro in std.range.

I assume that this was to get rid of a keyword and reduce duplicate
functionality.

Though I must say that I find retro to be a bit funny. I would have expected
it to be reverse. It would be clearer, I think, but it's not like it's hard
to find out what retro does and remember it.

It iterates backwards, all the way back to the 50s. I think "reverse" is 
a much better word.
