Doesn't reduce return a non-list (or at least, isn't it the case that 
it doesn't necessarily return a list the way map and filter do)?

An *abuse* of a list comprehension, or a list comprehension in 
conjuction with something else, could probably replicate reduce(),
but why bother?  reduce() isn't really like map and filter.
