Hi,
One would think you could already pass two arguments to a function by
using a 2d array but I couldn't get that to work with some short testing.
So this looks like a useful improvement over the current piecewise to me.

Do you want open a pull request on github to discuss the details?

It would be good if it can replace the current piecewise as having two
functions which do very similar things is not so nice.

Cheers,
Julian
