C Plus Plus 20 - Is This a Change in the APL Reduce and Scan?

They're clearly trying to address a shortcoming in generalization based on the original APL reduce and scan for those other cases. If anybody ever comes up with a case where they need it and they complain about the speed, I'll implement it and see. But until then, we're going to keep the implementation is actually in Jay.
