It seems to be a little bit adhoc to add options to /some/ operators to not
touch $value since reduce also touches $value. I think reduce's $value should
somehow "trump" whatever the inner expansions do. However then a further
question pops up:
"At the end of a reduce expansion, the values of $item and $value are restored
to what they were before."
What is "before" in that context? $value as set by the inner expansion?

How about instead changing reduce to use a different temporary variable instead
of $value?
