Lalo> I'm +0 on this (reasons below), but since Guido already said no: Lalo> I find this function pretty useful, as it serves to collapse Lalo> ugly code, and I hate ugly python code.

Lalo> So I suggest you come up with a better name and offer it as a Lalo> contribution to, say, the math module. In that case I would Lalo> prefer to have the reverse function too.
