Just recently stumbled upon `reduced` and `reduced?`. It seems rather 
magical... how does the outer `reduce` (or `reductions`) know to stop? That 
is, how does the function which is being called (`reduced`) affect the 
function that's calling it (below, `reductions`)? :

~~~clojure
(defn main
  []
  (let [res (reductions (fn [accum x]
                          (if (< accum 100)
                            (+ accum x)
                            (reduced [x accum])))
                        (range))]
    (prn res)
    (prn (reduced? res)) ;=> false
    (prn (reduced? (last res))))) ;=> false --- why isn't this `true`?
~~~

Also, what's the use of `reduced?`, and on what in the above snippet would 
I call it to return true?
