 *
 * `$count = Hash::apply($data, 'Article.Comment.{n}', 'count');`

 * You could also use a function like `array_sum` to sum the results.

 *
 * @param array $data The data to reduce.
 * @param string $path The path to extract from $data.
 * @param callable $function The function to call on each extracted value.
 * @return mixed The results of the applied method.
