Nice to have: reverse() function in the core

Is there any possibility to have reverse() function in the PG core in
the future?

There are some implementation already like ie. this one:

I think author will have nothing against using his code as he
published it on his blog.

Not everyone is able to compile C function himself - while it's the
fastest and I think many users would be glad to see it ready to use.
