a) Had a look at std.algorithm.reduce, looks like this is what I 
did, but there are 2 overloads inside a template block instead of 
parameter with a default value (also less strictly typed):

template reduce(fun...) {
auto reduce(R)(R r)
auto reduce(S, R)(S seed, R r)
}

The code there though is mindboggling :)

b) Thanks, forgot about that
