IIUC that's merely projecting away the t1_2 attributes from t2; then 
cross-multiplying with t1(?) What it needs is matching records type t1 with 
records type t2 that have the same values in the fields in common -- i.e. in 
their t1_2 fields. That's typically implemented as a record-by-record fold over 
one argument.

Oh, that was in the earlier message: [ t1' ++ t1_2 ++ t2' ]

Perhaps that should be $( t1' ++ t1_2 ++ t2' )

What I gave was based on the `fun proj ...` definition in the 'Ur by example' 
section of your paper, which doesn't give the type of the result.

cool. thanks
