Thanks Eric, That's very neat! Sort of fits my belief about base R and telegrams (that's not knocking it, I really do respect it, my wetware is just not good at it).
For many reasons, particularly the convenience for formatting and passing on results from the real function I'm applying, I am really keen to find tidyverse/dplyr answers/options. Any offers?!
