reduce -> fold?

As has been discussed before there's been discussion about 
std.algorithm.reduce taking the "wrong" order of arguments (its 
definition predates UFCS). I recall the conclusion was there'd be subtle 
ambiguities if we worked reduce to implement both orders.

So the next best solution is to introduce a new name such as the popular 
"fold", and put them together in the documentation.


Thoughts?
