[Numpy-discussion] PR to add an initializer kwarg to ufunc.reduce (and similar functions)

Hello, everyone. I’ve submitted a PR to add a initializer kwarg to ufunc.reduce. This is useful in a few cases, e.g., it allows one to supply a “default” value for identity-less ufunc reductions, and specify an initial value for reductions such as sum (other than zero.) Please feel free to review or leave feedback, (although I think Eric and Marten have picked it apart pretty well). https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/10635 Thanks, Hameer Sent from Astro <https://www.helloastro.com> for Mac
