Hi,

while browsing the "miscellaneous" package, I noticed that what I tried to 
achieve the Smalltalk way had been done before in LISP (Python?) style with the 
functions apply, match, map, and reduce. Apply has been deprecated already, but 
given logical indexing and the presence of accumarray and structfun I think 
that similar arguments can be brought up against match, map and reduce, or do I 
miss something here?
