Alas, we see the ill effects of my hastiness today! I stand happily
corrected. In that case, it's even simpler:

if start is not specified
start = 1
if reverse
start += (number of items - 1) * step

Here's hoping I haven't missed something obvious again. ^_^ Regardless, I
think we've shown it's fairly painless to implement.
