I just have one comment to add to Kacper's excellent explanation: a
useful thing to remember about this implementation of *reduction* is
that it always *reduces* the rank of the argument by one (except
there's a special case for scalar arguments).
The vector 1 2 3 4 has rank 1, so the result must have rank 0, so you
get an enclosed vector.
Jay.
