proposal: Go 2: add Reverse function to new slices package #47988
Description
I wanted to comment about this in #47203, but it's been locked, unfortunately. I needed a reverse function for something so I did a manual loop with the intention of replacing it with a call to slices.Reverse() when Go 1.18 comes out, but to my surprise it doesn't seem to have even been proposed. The only equivalent in the standard library that I saw was sort.Reverse(), but that's really inefficient, and a lot more complicated to use, than just a simple reverse.
The proposal's very simple:
package slices
func Reverse[T any](s []T) {
for i := 0; i < len(s) / 2; i++ {
r := len(s) - i - 1
s[i], s[r] = s[r], s[i]
}
}
