In the guile manual (listed as
ii guile-1.6-doc 1.6.8-10build1
Reference and tutorial documentation for Guile 1.6
on my system)
in node
(info "(guile) SRFI-1 Fold and Map")
I read
-- Scheme Procedure: reduce f ridentity lst
`reduce' is a variant of `reduce'. If LST is `()', RIDENTITY is
returned. Otherwise, `(fold (car LST) (cdr LST))' is returned.
The first and the last sentence look pretty much nonsensical to me.
