It would also be good to agree on a way to handle reverse iterators, especially on those which already use begin() and end() for going forwards.  For example

For (auto& bb : MF)

Will iterate the BBs in a machine function forwards. How should we do it backwards? Whatever we choose should be the standard across other similar classes of this in different parts of the code base. I have 3 potential answers which are all quite similar.

1: for (auto& bb : MF.reverse())
2: for (auto& bb : MF.r_bb())
3: for (auto& bb : reverse(MF))

Personally I like 1 but I'm open to suggestions. Arguably 3 could also use 1 is people liked both. 2 is more explicit about what's going on but I don't like the style too much.
