Mapply: When You Need to Iterate Over Multiple Inputs

Dr. Mowinckel's blog: In [an older post](./blog/2022/lets-get-applying/), I showed the basics of replacing loops with apply functions. I briefly touched on `mapply` at the end, but it deserves its own explanation because it's incredibly useful once you understand when to reach for it.
