My use case is solving coding tasks about palindromes on codefights.com.
Not sure if that counts as "real-world", but probably a lot of beginning
developers encounter such tasks at least once.

So far no one has provided a real-world use case.

Hi! I would propose to add reverse() method to strings. Something
equivalent to the following:
String.prototype.reverse = function(){
return this.split('').reverse().join('')
}
It seems natural to have such method. Why not?
