Description

in some cases `sum()` step do not allow to get the correct result due to overflow.
For example `g.inject(100b,100b,100b).sum()` will lead to `ArithmeticException`.

Good to have a way to get the result using a different type for summation, for example by providing seed, `g.inject(100b,100b,100b).sum(0L)` can produce 300L
