A reduce option would be very handy. And it's very handy to have your
implementation to get a feel for how it would work. Thank you.

BTW, what do you think of a weight input to the group-like functions?
It could be used, for example, to calculated a weighted group mean.
The weight could be 1d or have the same number of dimensions as the
input array.
