How can I reverse a array in Hugo?

For example, lets say I have the following array:

```auto
{{ $myArray := slice "c" "b" "a" }}

```

I would expect I can do something like:

```auto
{{ $myArray := (slice "c" "b" "a") | reverse }}
<!-- Outputs: a b c -->

```

Any ideas?

layouts/partials/reverse-slice.html

```auto
{{- $sliceOriginal := . -}}
{{- $len := len $sliceOriginal -}}
{{- $sliceReversed := slice -}}
{{- range seq $len -}}
  {{- $sliceReversed = $sliceReversed | append (index $sliceOriginal (sub $len .)) }}
{{- end -}}
{{- return $sliceReversed -}}

```

Then call the partial from a template or shortcode:

```auto
{{- $myArray := slice "c" "b" "a" -}}
{{- $myArrayReversed := partial "reverse-slice.html" $myArray -}}

```
