Annoying? Yes..
But used? Yes -- quite commonly.
I've scanned a pile of code and found it on several occasions.
Typically something like:
if user-display-option = "earliest first" [
data: head reverse data
]
foreach item data [ .... ]
Sadly, all that code would break.
How about a related word?
invert: func [item] [head reverse item]
