Not much, if you restrict yourself to the built-ins, but you can
define your own words that operate on non-scalar values. A few
cases already "in the box" include
>> blk: [2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1]
== [2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1]
>> print blk
2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1
>> minimum-of blk
== [1]
>> maximum-of blk
== [9 7 5 3 1]
but, at the risk of repetition, you can define more.
