I don't understand this feature. How do you represent a reversed buffer using the buffer API, and how do you ensure that consumers (especially those written in C) see the buffer reversed?

The values in the strides array are signed, so presumably just by specifying a "-1" for the relevant dimension (triggering all the usual failures if you encounter a buffer API consumer that can only handle C contiguous arrays).

Cheers, Nick.
