I'd be partial to this kind of constructions
vectorize2 <- function(f)
function(x, y,...)
sapply(seq, along=x, function(i)f(x[i],y[i],...))
so that you can simply do
outer(x, y, vectorize2(fun))
A similar technique for functions of one variable would be
vectorize <- function(f)
function(x, ...)
sapply(x, f)
The case of N variables is -um- interesting...
