Following this post on SO:

I was wondering if there could be a data.table way to deal with list of list
of data.tables.

require(data.table)
l <- list(a1 = list(b=data.table(rnorm(3)), c=data.table(rnorm(3)),
d=data.table(rnorm(3))),
          a2 = list(b=data.table(rnorm(3)), c=data.table(rnorm(3)),
d=data.table(rnorm(3))))

The idea is to go from a N-named list of P-named list of data.table to a
P-named list of N-named list of data.table (a pure transpose)

+a1---b         +b ---a1
      ---c             ---a2
      ---d         +c---a1
+a2---b    to       ---a2
      ---c         +d---a1
      ---d             ---a2

Is there a data.table idiomatic way ?
Can we make sure the data.tables are not copied ?
