Mirror for Actions in NLA
Please consider adding a [ ] X Mirror checkbox & functionality to Actions and Strips in the NLA_Editor.
This option could be applied to brief asymmetrical Actions (ie; "Wave-Hand.R", "Throw-Spear", "Hop_on_one_foot.L" ...).
This would double the animation-potential of asymmetric Actions (ie; let users build & maintain only one of the .L/.R pairs of an Action).
Similarly, from the Pose_Library: please consider a button for "Apply Mirrored", to apply a static asymmetric pose.
Thank you for blender!!

I am not sure if this should be built into the strip UI or as a modifier , any object can be animated and have a track in the NLA , having a generic mirror animation option with control over what direction it mirrors is important.
I came across an instance where I needed this today. Luckily my animation was simple enough that it didn't take too long to make a separate action and copy and paste reversed all the keys. But this would be so helpful for more complex animations.
