NAME
====

ReverseIterables - turn two or more Iterables into a single iterator reversing

SYNOPSIS
========

```raku
use ReverseIterables;

my @a = ^5;
my @b = <a b c d e>;
my @c = ReverseIterables.new(@a,@b).Seq;
say @c;  # [e d c b a 4 3 2 1]
```

DESCRIPTION
===========

The `ReverseIterables` distribution provides a `ReverseIterables` class that creates a single `Iterator` from any number `Iterables` that will **lazily** produce values in a "reverse" order (from the end of the last `Iterable`, to the start of the first `Iterable`).

It does **not** recurse into any `Iterable` values that it encounters.

It also provides a `Seq` method, to directly produce a `Seq` object from the iterator, so it can be used in expressions.

PROBABLY NOT USER FACING
========================

This module is probably more useful for module developers, than for people writing direct Raku production code.
