Another thing about sort() is that reversed=True is
equivalent to passing a key function that results
in reversed ordering, so it's easy to see it as a
parameterization of the existing behaviour.

That's not the case with index() and remove() --
there's nothing you can pass to the existing methods
that will cause them to operate in reverse.
