I am highly in favor of deleting this since it simply does not work. Unlike everything else in iterator.jl it depends on indexing, not iteration, and doesn't even work on everything that's indexable (for example UTF8String). I hate having landmines like this in Base.

I support that.

What's really needed is a reverse iteration protocol rstart, prev and rdone or something like that. The names are terrible, but it needs to be dual of the forward iteration protocol.
