It ought to do what it's documented to do, which is replace each
instance of the first list's items with the corresponding item from
the second list.  It does that very well.

Whether that particular function is useful at all is up for debate
(I'm on the 'no' side).  But it's far from the only "weird" in the CF
function library.  For example, there's a ceiling() function (which is
quite useful), but not a floor() function.  There's int() and fix(),
and int() does what the floor() function usually does, and fix() does
some integer truncation.  There are certainly other examples.
