 Proposal
 ========
 
-Add a builtin function called *ireverse()* that makes a reverse
+Add a builtin function called *reversed()* that makes a reverse
 iterator over sequence objects that support __getitem__() and
 __len__().
 
 The above examples then simplify to::
 
-    for i in ireverse(xrange(n)):
+    for i in reversed(xrange(n)):
         print seqn[i]
 
 ::
 
-    for elem in ireverse(seqn):
+    for elem in reversed(seqn):
         print elem
 
 The core idea is that the clearest, least error-prone way of specifying
 reverse iteration is to specify it in a forward direction and then say
-*ireverse*.
+*reversed*.
 
 The implementation could be as simple as::
 
-    def ireverse(x):
+    def reversed(x):
+        try:
+            return x.__reversed__()
+        except AttributeError:

         while i > 0:
             i -= 1
             yield x[i]
 
-If *x* is a mapping, the implementation should return a ValueError with
-a message noting that reverse iteration is undefined for mappings.

 No language syntax changes are needed.  The proposal is fully backwards
 compatible.
