reduce is a disciplined approach to code cleanup. It focuses on "boiling off the excess"—removing dead weight, flattening control flow, and replacing clever tricks with boring, readable code—all while ensuring that the public interface and behavior remain identical.
Use this when you have a working piece of code that is too complex, deeply nested, or contains redundant logic, and you want to make it more maintainable without risking a regression.
