If that's all that's required for one thing to complect two others,
clojure's rife with the stuff. if-let complects if and let. Destructuring
assignment complects assignment and getting values from a data structure
(as the macroexpansion of (let [[a b] x]) demonstrates. split-with
complects take-while and drop-while. let complects lambda abstraction and
function application. Etc. I had assumed that "a complects b and c" on the
one hand meant more than "a can be expressed using b and c" and on the
other was a criticism.
