I've thought of combine() but it doesn't make sense for e.g. lengths. Definitely not cross-fade() though, that's confusing even for images (for which it was designed). More synonyms for combine() could be blend() or mix(). Ultimately, we're stuck with either using a name that's not perfect for all types, or using a name for the generic operation that many people won't understand. ~TJ
