The `reduced?` check is there in case somebody returns a `reduced` as
acc value from the reducing function, as a way to terminate the
reduction early:
user=> (reductions (fn [_ x] (if (= 10 x) (reduced x) x)) (range))
(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
deref is the way to retrieve the value of a reduced object:
user=> (deref (reduced 1))
