I haven't decided yet which features I actually would like to have. In particular, how should this function handle different wordbreak characters like whitespace and newline?
Well, what are the choices? 1. Preserve the whitespace verbatim between words, so that a b c d e f becomes f e d c b a 2. Preserve the shape of the paragraph, so that it becomes f e d c b a I think (1) would be easier to implement and makes a more sensible default, so I'd start there. Then you could implement (2) as an option (e.g. controlled by a prefix arg). -- Kevin Rodgers
