How does it handle the ASCII examples in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30108184

And more importantly: What is the use case for a reversed string?

The use case: Make an animation, where the text appears starting from the end - for example if you stylize it as vertical text falling from the top.

I think the example shows quite clearly the problem really comes down to dividing the string to logical parts (atoms, grapheme clusters, however you want to call it).
