indent-rigidly is great, as I hit C-x C-i over and over, the lines
more further and further to the right.

OK, now I hereby challenge you to move those lines slowly back the
other way in the same fashion. Simple you say: use an argument of -1.
But then it becomes a giant pain trying to do that over and over.

OK, one could make a keyboard macro to do it, but still no fun.
Hitting C-x e over and over is much harder than e.g., C-x C-e, which
often one hits by accident when trying to hit the former.

Therefore you should implement a indent-rigidly-reverse and bind it to
some key, else you are offering one-way joyrides.

In Emacs-22, both C-x z and C-x e can be repeated with "C-x z z z z z"
or "C-x e e e e e".  Both are solutions to your problem:

C-u - 1 C-x C-i C-x z z z z z z z z
