Mark Dickinson added the comment:

To get the boundary cases correct, you need a special case for lcm(0, 0), which 
should be 0.

Did you have any particular use-cases in mind for this?  It may make sense to 
allow multiple arguments:  e.g., lcm(4, 5, 6) -> 60.

Overall, I'm -0 on this addition: I don't think it comes up often enough to 
make it worth adding, and when it does come up it's easy to create the lcm from 
the gcd (just as your patch does).
