possibly, I have wanted it too before.

Bikeshedding:

I’d have expected the name “both”. It also has precedence here:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/extra/docs/Data-Tuple-Extra.html#v:both

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/concatenative/docs/Control-Concatenative.html#v:both

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/MissingK/docs/Control-Arrow-Extra.html#v:both

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family/docs/Lens-Family2-Stock.html#v:both

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens/docs/Control-Lens-Traversal.html#v:both

Diagonally sounds more like something of type `a -> (a,a)` or similar.

It should not. Maybe only open to subscribers? (A common crude anti-
