 Although it is possible to use BOOST_FOREACH with reverse iterators via
 make_iterator_range( rbegin(seq) , rend(seq) ), this method is not usable
 when the sequence to be iterated over is an rvalue. Thus a
 BOOST_REVERSE_FOREACH that re-uses internals of the current FOREACH
 implementation would be very handy.

 There is something further discussion in the thread at
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/28612.
