Not at the moment. We have talked about adding another apply function to
do this (eg papply) but haven't got around to it. The way it would work is
papply(X,Y,FUN), where X and Y are of length n, would basically do
sapply(1:n,function(i) FUN(X[i],y[i]))
but preferably implemented internally for speed.
