	I think I just found part of that original line (at least, I did
a "marry" at the end of the subject).

	I dug up an old APL text, and found an operator that might fit,
so suggested "laminate()" -- definitely doesn't imply only two (though
APL, having just dyadic mode did have a limit of two arrays for input).
