More importantly, because it has positively abysmal performance, just like
the reduce() solution (and, in fact, many reduce solutions to problems
better solved otherwise :-) Like the old input(), backticks and allowing the
mixing of tabs and spaces, while it has uses, the ease and frequency with
which it is misused outweigh the utility enough that it should not be in
such a prominent place.
