Are these equivalent? (Assuming reduce isn't going away)

    $sum  = reduce &infix:<+>, @arrayd;
    $fact = reduce &infix:<*>, 1..$num;

>     $firsttrue = \\|| @args;

    $firsttrue = reduce &infix:<||>, @args;
    $firstdef  = reduce &infix:<//>, @args;
    @sumrows  := map { reduce &infix:<+>, @$_ }, @rows;

Hm, if ==> and <== are made special syntax, maybe this would be
possible?

    @foo ==> zip <== @bar

I like that.
