+ * 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:
+ *
+ * ~~~
+ *
+ * reverse_part(v, 1, 4);
+ *
+ * ~~~
+ *
+ * `v` now contains `[1,4,3,2,5]`.
