It has fewer than most dynamic languages; and remember that I'm trading product(), any(), all() for reduce(), map() and filter(). There are others slated for disappearance, too.
I think I'd miss reduce, but I'd be happy to have it moved to an extension module. There's no need for reduce to be a builtin. I'd be very happy to have any and all around.
