I agree. I would be very easy to forget which 'direction' one is pointed 
in and issue the wrong command by mistake. Making the 'direction' 
explicit in each command eliminates this problem.

Whether the prefix is 'backward' or 'reverse' doesn't matter to me much. 
When I drive my car, putting it in reverse always makes it go backward 
when I hit the gas.  :-)
