Not to mention the fact that the word "multiplex" already has a meaning, and it has nothing to do with concatenating duplicates of a string. Unless the function name is intended to be parsed as "multiple 'X'".


Rather ironic that the function "multiplex" as "multiple x" is included in an article that says:
