I'd be more worried about passing too *many* arguments, eg:
reduce!(min, max)(tuple(c, c, c), "hello");

Technically, implementation-wise, it *should* pass, but it doesn't make sense to accept it.

Currently, in HEAD, this code ices the compiler. My reduce re-write just accepts it. I'll add your test(s) to it.
