Iterator direction

[valmirjunior0088]

Is there some specific reason why you .rev() each half of the iterator separately?

Also, is there a way to get the other direction (oldest to newest) without having to .rev() the iterator each time it is used? Perhaps you could add an iterator like the following:

let (first_half, second_half) = self.data.split_at(self.insertion_index);
second_half.iter().chain(first_half.iter())

I suppose that part can be rewritten as b.iter().chain(a.iter()).rev(), yeah. Unfortunately, that would be a breaking change as I chose to use an explicitly specified type alias for the iterator type rather than a newtype (for no particular reason), so I think I'd rather avoid chaging it unless there's a good justification.

second_half.iter().chain(first_half.iter())

Sure, that should work. The usual method could even be implemented in terms of this one, then, assuming a breaking change was made. But since I'd like no breaking changes, this could just be a separate method. Could you send a PR?

Since you don't want a breaking change, what would you suggest the new function name be? I'm having a hard time thinking of one.
