Hello Karsten,
Thank you for new extensions.
I notice that your version of Flip is relegated to Curves2 menu,
however the functionality also applies to faces, as seen here:

Having said that, I think for the time being it is an acceptable home for the node,
but ideally this node should IMHO be folded into a general "Flip" node, together with Marco's "ArrayFlipper", as well as function for flipping num arrays.
With a view to this, I submit here, for your consideration: "FlipNumArray".
I have posted this before, albeit with a different name "arrayRev"
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1248
Below is an image of its use, which is simply to reverse the order of a num array.
I have also included an "ArraySort" node for sorting num arrays into ascending order,
which may have some application with managing data flows.
Please find attached your arraayExt.js with inclusion of 2 new nodes

PS I wonder if there would be value in initiating a new menu heading: "General"
Within in this category could go all the multiMode nodes
(those that have separate functions for numArrays, ptArrays, curves & surfaces etc).
Apart from a multimode "Flip" node; another example a node that would be at home
in a "General" menu would be a proposed "Extract2" node that would have, at once,
the functionality of Max's "Extract" node with "Numbers" & "Points" modes in addition
to 2 further modes: "ExtractPts" & "ExtractEdges"
Your thoughts?
