Problem 750. Accumulate Cells

Given a combining function, a cell array, and an initial value, accumulate the result.

For example,

accumcell(@plus,{1,2,3,4},0)

should return 10, while

accumcell(@times,{1,2,3,4},1)

should return 24.

The elements of C should be such that the combining function can apply to them without generating an error (all the same size, for example).

I'm hoping there is a built-in function I don't know about that solves this problem. Perhaps accumarray?
