Yeah, the documentation completely fails to explain what happens

when the inputs aren't two arrays or two objects.  I'd kind of assumed

that that's an error, but it isn't.  Some experimentation indicates

that the behavior in all cases except two objects is to convert any

non-array input to a one-element array, reducing the situation to the

two-array case.
