Line 73:
::: Hmm.... from my point of view, "robust" in the context of "programmer interaction" means: "easily describable" and "useful". But you also want to bubble problems up to the programmer. And, in my experience, "mis-matched lengths" is almost always a problem. If the programmer really wanted the shortest of the two, it's easy enough to discard the unwanted elements from the longer list.
::: Not sure about the larger issue, though -- I can see both sides of this and haven't made up my mind. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 21:25, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
::::Not sure how that looks – I've adjusted zipWidth to return undefined when array lengths vary (it certainly does simplify the top level of dotProduct), and for the moment I've left the earlier code in place, and just reframed its characterisation.
