Propose to add dojo.reduce

[guest]

dojo.reduce will iterate the array, apply the callback function to each element and return a scalar value back. This function template is a good candidate for min/max/sum implementation.

A typical example is:

dojo.reduce([6,2,5,8,3], function(reduced, item) {
	return reduced < item ? reduced : item;
});

the result is 2.

Attached is the diff of dojo/_base/array.js and dojo/tests/_base/array.js

This may be a nice addition but it is useless to us without knowing who submitted it and whether or not they have a CLA on file. If whoever submitted could update this ticket with that information, we might consider it for inclusion to the codebase.

Closing with the checkin of dojox.lang.functional.
