There have been several threads of "Oh...I didn't know DASM could do that"
lately.  Part of the reason is that it's simply big and bloated.  I think
with too many changes, DASM is going to become unwieldly.  Not unlike Emacs,
it's the end-all-be-all solution.

(And I *hate* Emacs.)

Ok.  Sorry...I just attended a Noam Chomsky lecture, and now I'm full of
"venom and vinegar".

I think it would suffice to say that the feature isn't needed (IMHO).
You still have to enter the code/graphics, in this case "right side up".
In most editors, it's trivial to reverse the order of text lines, especially
with graphics ass imple as 2600 sprites.
