Um, the not-greatness is in the names BiBlock and Downstream. I have the
vague idea that BiBlock is a void procedure taking 2 arguments, and I know
you renamed something to Downstream, but the combination of these two into
the signature above is impenetrable.

mapMulti itself isn't so bad. I can guess at what that might be.
