 * sequence - takes a transformation and a coll and produces a lazy seq

 * eduction - returns a reducible/iterable of applications of the transducer to items in coll. Applications are re-performed with every reduce/iterator.
-* run! - run the transformation for side effects on the collection
 
 There have been a number of internal changes to support transducers:
 
 * volatiles - there are a new set of functions (volatile!, vswap!, vreset!, volatile?) to create and use volatile "boxes" to hold state in stateful transducers. Volatiles are faster than atoms but give up atomicity guarantees so should only be used with thread isolation.
 * array iterators - added support for iterators over arrays
+* conj can be used as a reducing function and will conj to []
