Reduce N-Wise R←Xf/[K]Y

f must be a dyadic function. X must be a simple scalar or one-item integer array. Y may be any array whose sub-arrays along the Kth axis are appropriate to function f.

The axis specification is optional. If present, K must identify an axis of Y. If absent, the last axis of Y is implied. The form R←Xf⌿Y implies the first axis of Y.

R is an array formed by applying function f between items of sub-vectors of length X taken from vectors along the Kth (or implied) axis of Y.

X can be thought of as the width of a "window" which moves along vectors drawn from the Kth axis of Y.

If X is zero, the result is a (⍴Y)+(-⍴⍴Y)↑1 array of identity elements for the function f. See Identity Elements.

If X is negative, each sub-vector is reversed before being reduced.
