I mentioned this to Larry on the Friday after the conference
and his response was that he did think about it originally but

  $sum = reduce + @list; # assuming I got the verbal->syntax translation right

was not easy todo. I was not even thinking of that but just some like
sort where we have $a and $b (ala the List::Util::reduce function)
But I must admit, this syntax would be nice for some operators
