  <para>
   Usually when using two or more arrays, they should be of equal length
   because the callback function is applied in parallel to the corresponding
   elements.
   If the arrays are of unequal length, the shortest one will be extended
   with empty elements.
  </para>
  <para>
   An interesting use of this function is to construct an array of arrays,
   which can be easily performed by using &null;
   as the name of the callback function
