You're right. Sorry - I was misled by the docs, which describe the order
of the combine following the description of the 'first' form of the
combine command, and then go on to describe the second form, including
the fact that the keys of the array must be all numeric. I put 2 + 2
together and got a much too large answer :-(
btw - I did also notice that the docs for 'combine' mention that
'combine by column' etc. was introduced in 2.8.1

Unfortunately 'combine' does not retain the original order. It should, but
it doesn't. The sort order for array elements seems to be alpha and not
numeric, even though the keys are numeric. This means that the output list
is not in the same order as the input list.
