This snippet is basically like the haskell zipWith() function. It can combines two arrays into one array given a single function. In this case I defined a bunch of operator functions, but it would work with any kind of function that takes two arguments and returns a value. You could extend this to work with strings and do other strange things I guess.
If you have yet to go play with haskell ... go do it now.
