For my own sake, I don't care at all. I've seen this announcement, I'll 
see deprecation warnings, so the change doesn't really bother me. A minor 
irritation that I'd have to change a couple lines of code, that's all.

I always call reduce with UFCS (same with almost everything in 
std.algorithm), so the parameter order doesn't affect me.
