reduce via ^

I just read Apocalypse and Exegesis 3, and something stuck out at me
because of its omission, namely using hyper operators for reduction.
$a ^+= @list; # should sum the elements of @list
Larry says @a ^+ 1 will replicate the scalar value for all a's, and Damian
talks about doing summation with the reduce function without mentioning
this compact syntax.
So am I overlooking some obvious reason why this won't work?
