I believe this is not true, or that the ascending flag doesn't mean what I
think it means. In ascending index order, the new array is:
[ 6 4 2 0 ]
while in memory storage order it would be the contrary.
What I now think the ascending flag means is "The true stride is the negative
of the stored stride." That would make sense in all observed cases. However,
I think it is useless. Can you tell me why we wouldn't want "ascending =
stride < 0" (except as a cache for the computation, of course)?
