One more concern is that `ReverseOrderListView` is not serializable, but `List12` and `ListN` are serializable. With this change, some reversed lists will be serializable while others are not. I don't see anything in the specification regarding the serializability of the reversed lists, but such a discrepancy might be confusing for some users.
