  The sequence of items to be reversed. 
  <span class="javascript" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">If you pass in a single value, 
  it is treated as a ValueIterator with that single item; therefore, if you 
  pass in an array, the array is treated as a single value (not as one value
  for each item in the array). If you mean to pass in  
  the values of each item in the array, then you can call 
  <a href="./xdmp.arrayValues">xdmp.arrayValues</a> on the array. </span>

  The sequence you specify to reverse must fit into memory, so the sequence
  size should not be larger than your memory cache sizes.
