- * Reverse part of a vector in place.
- *
- * Reverse the elements in the vector between `start` and `end - 1`.
- *
- * If either start or end do not represent valid positions in the vector, the
- * vector is returned unchanged.
- *
- * # Arguments
- *
- * * `v` - The mutable vector to be modified
- *
- * * `start` - Index of the first element of the slice
- *
- * * `end` - Index one past the final element to be reversed.
- *
- * # Example
- *
- * Assume a mutable vector `v` contains `[1,2,3,4,5]`. After the call:
- *
- * ~~~ {.rust}
- * reverse_part(v, 1, 4);
- * ~~~
- *
- * `v` now contains `[1,4,3,2,5]`.
