It would have to be called product(), and I believe it has been proposed
multiple times and been rejected under the "not every 3-line function
has to be builtin" rule.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
