# Description

## Problem\*

Resolves a private issue sent to me on slack

## Summary\*

Array map is a fairly old method written before we had
`std::mem::zeroed`. Now that we have zeroed, we can allow mapping empty
arrays since we can use `zeroed` to get the filler `U` value for the
starting elements.

## Additional Context

While I was at it I included a small clarification to `reduce`'s docs
that it requires a non-empty array
