  | | The name jot derives in part from iota, a function in APL.
  | Maybe somebody(tm) should look that up.

It has been a long time since I did any APL programming, but
in that, the iota function simply generates a vector of integers
(it has a single operand) - it is more or less "seq N".  That
won't help us at all.

  | Or ask John A. Kunze.

That would be a better idea.   I might try that one, but not tonight.
