I really thought that lisp or scala or Haskell or similar would have already have a well-known name for this, but apparently not.

Of the names posted in this thread, the top 8 below are my preferences in roughly descending order of preference. Any good reasoning for or against any of those?

adjoin
overlaps
mapAdj
moving
rolling
automap
map_adjacent
between


slide
pipeline
stitch
running
MAPACDR
map_right_neighbour
map_rpair
map_look_ahead
maprange
n-map-plus
npmap
nwindowmap
nslicemap
splicemap
between_pairs
forByTwo
friends, 
neighbors, 
friendwise
bubblemap

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
