Summary: reverse method does not return object

Initial Comment:
In SQLObject 0.10.2:
 
When I have a sqlobject object,
and I try something such as:

return list(object.select().reverse())

I will get an error because the reverse() method does not return Results, it just applies it into the object.
This makes ruby-style chains difficult.

Message:
Python is not Ruby. In Python methods that changes objects in place don't
return the object. Look, for example, chaining is impossible with simple
lists - list.reverse() doesn't return the list:

>>> t = (1, 2, 3)
>>> print list(t).reverse()
None
