+ and * operators

[Peter Schneider-Kamp]

Is there some way to refer to the + and *
operators as functions?

If e.g. I want to have the length of a
vector v writing

reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,map(lambda x:x*x,v))

is not really nice. I'd like to write
something like:

reduce(+,map(*,v))

thnx for advice
Peter
