Well - the real question is if you think this merits a project of its
own :-)
Erik, Nikodemus, what do you think?
I sometimes wonder if we should create an "extensions" umbrella
project for this kind of thing.
In any case, if you think that this merits a project of its own, I do
not see any major (nor minor) problem.
Now, completely unrelated to that issue:

Well. What happens with
(mapcar #L(- 1) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))
or
(mapcar #L(/ 2) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))
?

So the first _ is the first variable, and the second one the second?
To be honest, this does not seem to me to be such a good idea.
Regards,
Mario.
