Sorry, but that's bad practice in best case. #inject doesn't depend on
the total being assigned to by the block; it depends on the value
returned by the block. Your code works, but somebody may be tempted to
do something like adding "p array_element" at the end and suddenly it
breaks for no obvious reason, if somebody believed the assignment was
essential.
