Nor me. But, I think I've got it now, thanks for your help. The question I 
should have asked was "what is the purpose of the ([x] ...) arity in an 
eduction?"  I wish I could phrase my questions as clearly as you phrase 
your answers!

 I couldn't understand why, in eduction, the function was being called with 
arity 1 at all if the result was not being used. Is this so that stateful 
transducers can 'clean up' their state in some way at the end?
