in thread First char out of a string & surprises with errors on chop reverse $string (that doesn't work!)

For the same reason 2 + 2 doesn't return an lvalue.
Besides, there's no reason for having reverse return an lvalue. TMTOWTDI, and reverse chop was never supposed to be one of them. Still, there are a lot of other WTDI.
