Hi all, I've submitted a proposal to the issue tracker for XQuery 3.1. After thinking about it for a while I realized that to me it appears quite feasible to use the 3.1 array type to have something like fn:apply and also keep the current semantics with for example the proposed arrow operator. I hope that I could explain myself well enough. Let me know if you think it makes sense.
