Description Bill Baxter 2008-10-20 18:54:42 UTC 
In std.functional.binaryRevertArgs, 
"revert" should be "reverse"

This doesn't appear to be a documented function at the moment, but I thought I'd mention before it becomes one since I ran across it browsing the source.

From some online dictionary, revert means:
1.  To return to a former condition, practice, subject, or belief.
2. (Law) To return to the former owner or to the former owner's heirs. Used of money or property.
3. (Genetics) To undergo reversion.

The proper word here is, of course, "reverse".
