From: dblack@... Date: 2006-10-12T02:32:49+09:00 Subject: What about 'splay'? Hi -- With regard to the splat/unarray/values discussion: The word 'splay' occurs to me, as something that sounds sort of like splat, and sort of like array, and connotes spreading something out or unpackaging something (like, "The contents of the drawer were splayed out on the table"). Anyway, just a thought. David -- David A.
