[lojban] Brivla for natural fold

[Alex Rozenshteyn <rpglover64@gmail.com>]

"Sum of the series 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ..."
"Product of all primes smaller than p"
"Concatenation of 'a', 'bc', 'def'"
etc.
can all be specified by "x1 is the result of the natural
fold/reduce/aggregation of collection/set/mass x2 using binary
function x3"

Taking {broda} to fill in for this brivla, {.i lo sumji broda be li
fi'u re ce'o fi'u vo ce'o fi'u bi lo'o ce'o lo porsi be fi lo'i
drata}, {.i lo pilji broda be lo'i mulna'usle poi cmamau py}, {.i lo
se te se lidne broda be me'o .a bu ce'o  by cy ce'o dy .e bu fy}

I think this is a desirable bit of expressivity, but I also think it
needs more work.
