How do I reverse a string in 0.9?

Question

How do I reverse a string in Rust 0.9?

According to rosettacode.org this worked in 0.8:

let reversed:~str = "一二三四五六七八九十".rev_iter().collect(); 

... but I can't get iterators working on strings in 0.9.

Also tried std::str::StrSlice::bytes_rev but I haven't figured out a clean way to convert the result back into a string without the compiler choking.

First of all iteration over bytes and reversing will break multibyte characters (you want iteration over chars)

let s = ~"abc";
let s2: ~str = s.chars_rev().collect();
println!("{:?}", s2);
