    Read-file-characters-rev

    Read an entire file into a character-listp, but in reverse order!

    Signature
    (read-file-characters-rev filename state) 
      → 
    (mv errmsg/contents state)
    Arguments
    filename — Guard (stringp filename).

    This goofy function is just like read-file-characters except that the characters are returned in reverse.

    This is faster than read-file-characters because we avoid the cost of reversing the accumulator, and thus require half as many conses.

    Note: that we just leave this function enabled. Logically it's just the reverse of read-file-characters.
