Rotating the array by 180 degrees in every dimension would give the same
answer for 1-dimensional arrays and give sensible answers for higher
dimensional arrays.  For example:

  1,2,3   ==  3,2,1

  [1 2 3     [9 8 7
   4 5 6  ==  6 5 4
   7 8 9]     3 2 1]

I think higher dimensionality would work, it's just a bit fiddly to
draw.
