On PEP 322 (ireverse)

Is there any reason this PEP is of so limited scope?  Why not a more
comprehensive PEP defining a reverse iteration protocol similar the
protocol we have now for forward iteration?

It just seems that if this is implemented as-is, it'll be one of those
warts left around when Python gets a reverse (or even more general)
iteration protocol that will almost certainly operate in a different
manner.  It just seems to be fodder for supercession.
