Probably for the same reason there's no __rgetitem__ for the benefit of the
millions of programmers who want

    x[i]

to use x as an index into sequence i <wink>.  That is, AFAIK nobody ever
asked for it before, and it's not screamingly natural (you're not really
*surprised* at the lack of __rcall__, right?).
