This crate gives Iterators a `reduce` function that is similar to
[`fold`][std-fold] but without an initial value. The function returns `None` if
the iterator is empty and `Some(value)` otherwise. This matches the distinction
between [`reduce`][scala-reduce] and [`fold`][scala-fold] in Scala.

## Examples
```rust
use reduce::Reduce;
fn main() {
// Reduce a non-empty iterator into Some(value)
let v = vec![1usize, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let sum = v.into_iter().reduce(|a, b| a + b);
assert_eq!(Some(15), sum);
// Reduce an empty iterator into None
let v = Vec::::new();
let sum = v.into_iter().reduce(|a, b| a + b);
assert_eq!(None, sum);
}
