Signature


\begin{params} {\em x} & \% & An element of the monoid (to be destroyed)\\ {\em y} & \% & An element of the monoid to be multiplied by x\\\end{params}

\begin{retval} Returns the product $x y$, where the storage used by $x$\ is allowed to be destroyed or reused, so $x$\ can be lost after this call. \end{retval}

\begin{remarks} This function may cause $x$\ to be destroyed, so do not use it ... ...arily copying their arguments and can thus create memory aliases. \end{remarks}
