  > operations that “naturally” take more than two parameters, that can’t be decomposed into reasonable two-parameter functions, are surprisingly rare. Simple examples include: String substitution: in string X, replace Y with Z. String padding: pad a string X to width at least Y with character Z. Dictionary update: given a dictionary D, set D[X] = Y. The obvious solution here is to have a two-parameter function that serves as a product, combining two arguments into one (eg space-based stranding in APL-likes): (Y ⨂ Z) replace X (Y ⨂ Z) pad X D update X ⨂ Y
