xy =. ,&:< NB. x and y into a list.
fn =. xy ((L a ]) c (R d ])) b NB. x & y combined, factor out

When you need to intermix three (or more) values in J,
you have several options:
[1] Compose some (or all) of them into a list
[2] Use an explicit definition
[3] recompute some of them
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
