:: On the incumbent function, my reservation is not so much about the properties of the code per se as the characterisation of it as 'functional', when it would actually break functional composition. Perhaps just leave it as a variant, without the jokey dedication ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 21:18, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
::: 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)
