Hi everyone,
I want to give my two cents. The idea of #inject appears to me almost a
synonym for a conception in mathematics: mathematical induction.
Wikipedia: Mathematical induction - Wikipedia
You see, #inject is essentially such a progress. It optionally accepts a
initial parameter, or defaults to the first. It then iterates through
the list, each time using the latest result as the new “first
parameter.” This is exactly a common situation in mathematical
induction.
So I’d say a proper alias is #induct.
