The one question you are bound to ask shortly is why we use ReversedPackedStrings, rather than PackedStrings in some cases - and the answer to that is there is no good reason. In the work if you fix all the cases where we have Reversed strings to normal strings that would be great!
Though I can't recommend trying! Packed strings appear all over the compiler, sometimes reversed, sometimes not, intermixed with code that either assumes 'reversed-ness' or doesn't. It would be seriously hard work to change :-) Cheers Tom
