As usual you managed to come up with an extraordinary solution

Usually extraordinary - yep, sounds like me. :-D Guido <a href="http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196">promised</a> us product in place of reduce, but so far hasn't fulfilled that promise. My guess is that he realized that with exp, log and complex numbers, you just need sum anyway. :-P [/sarcasm], of course. But there is a nice saying in multivariable calculus that the only truly binary function is sum - every function of many variables is expressible (possibly in cases) as composition of sum and one-variable functions. The saying isn't true, of course, but still it serves as a nice rule of thumb for sufficiently nice functions. :-)
