Reverse a list

[Mike Kerner]

It just seems odd to me that the chunking is so slow when done the second
way.  Just for the heck of it, I did a SPLIT so as to work on an array, and
sure enough, it is just a little slower than the first technique (even
though there is the overhead involved with splitting the container into an
array before working on it).  I wonder if I can create an index of
positions in a container for the start of each line/whatever and speed it
up, because if so, then perhaps a new datatype is in order.

On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
