itself, which means you can do something like this:
func Reverse(s string) string {
runes := []rune(s)
rev := make([]rune, 0, len(runes))
for i := len(runes) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
rev = append(rev, runes[i])
}
return string(rev)
}
It's not even *that* much slower (about 60%). It doesn't always preserve
the original string length though.
