Hi all, I'm still in the process of learning J, and trying to adapt ideas from other languages. In many (other?) functional programming languages it is possible to reduce over a collection starting with a provided initial value which does not belong to the reduced collection. To attempt to put this in J terms, such an operation would allow the initial value and result of each reduction step to have a different shape than that of the the items of the value being reduced. As far as I can tell, the standard `/` adverb provides no such facility. Is there a J idiom for this?
