-1 from me.  'backwards' looks to me like something which changes
the list ordering in place, like what 'reverse' does.  Or something
which returns a new list but in reverse order.  It's an adjective,
when it should be a verb.

ibackwords would work, but so would riter or reviter or
variations thereof.
