  Readability. If you're using the same name everywhere, then your code is really hard to understand for other devs: val = my_list.reduce(foobar) What is even going on here?

    one option is to define your function inline, directly above the line where you would have liked to write the complex anonymous function. I guess if you are worried about namespace pollution you can 'del' the symbol afterward.
