It depends what proxy you pass as the reduction client callback
argument. If you pass `thisProxy`, then the result will be broadcast
to every element. If you pass `thisProxy[someIndex]`, then the result
will be delivered to just that element.

Great, thanks, Phil, for the clarification.

 

The same applies to proxies representing some array/group that's not
the one performing the reduction - you can pass either the collection
proxy, or a proxy to an individual element of the collection.

Very cool.
