Emanuel Barry added the comment: "Not trivial" might be an understatement. You need the start value to begin summing the items, but you may face with a non-repeatable generator with side-effects. Sure, you could special-case some builtins, but I'm not too keen on adding special cases for such an uncommon case. Feel free to prove me wrong, though!
