[R] apply on two lists?

[Peng Yu]

x=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5))
y=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5))
lapply(seq(along=x),function(i){cbind(x[[i]],y[[i]])})


I need to apply some function on two lists. I have to use the index to
do as shown above. But I feel more natural to refer to the lists
without using the index (using the syntax of something like,
lapply(x,y, function(i,j){....})). I'm wondering if there is such a
thing in R? Or there are some other ways better than the example at
the very beginning?
