Hi, How does everyone feel about adding a second version of `reduce` to `Sequence`? Instead of a `combine` function that's of type `(A, Element) -> A`, it would be `(inout A, Element) -> ()`. This way, we can write nice functionals algorithms, but have the benefits of inout (mutation within the function, and hopefully some copy eliminations).
IIRC, Loïc Lecrenier first asked this on Twitter. I've been using it ever since, because it can really improve readability (the possible performance gain is nice, too). Here's `reduce` with an `inout` parameter, including a sample: https://gist.github.com/chriseidhof/fd3e9aa621569752d1b04230f92969d7 -- Chris Eidhof
