 * this function available for a particular data type `T`. And

 * expanded. You may add `static`, `inline` and `__attribute__`
 * before calling `algo_make_implementation_of_reverse(T)`.
 * 
 * `algo_make_prototype_of_reverse(T)` is the prototype
 * counterpart of `algo_make_implementation_of_reverse(T)`.
 * It too is will not add any modifiers or attributes by
 * default. It will neither add a semicolon at the end of
 * the prototype.
 * 
 * `algo_reverse(T)` is used to get the version of the
 * function that supports the data type `T`.
 * `&(algo_reverse(T))` gets the address of this function
 * and `algo_reverse(T)(items, n)` calls the function.
 * 
 * @param  items  The array to reverse.
 * @param  n      The number of elements in `items`.
