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?
