Data.Functor.Backwards is a wrapper for functors that allow Foldable,
Traversable, and Applicative functors to be operated backwards. It is
similar to Dual for Monoids. The Applicative instance runs effects in
reversed order. The Foldable instance folds from right to left, The
Traversable instance traverses from right to left.
