Clarify that sum(local) also accepts a scalar Number
The sum()-step reference previously stated that sum(local) works for
Collection-type objects, which implied it only accepts Collections. In
fact sum(local) also accepts a scalar Number and returns that number
itself as an identity operation. Update the wording so readers know both
cases are supported.
