[[Replicate]] and [[Expand]] extend a scalar left argument to apply to each element of the right argument:
[[Replicate]] and [[Partitioned Enclose]] (and also [[Partition]], but this is less useful, as it is equivalent to <source lang=apl inline>,⊂</source> or  <source lang=apl inline>{0⍴⊂0⍴⍵}</source>) extend a scalar left argument to apply to each column of the right argument:
<source lang=apl>
<source lang=apl>

[[Decode]] uses extends a single radix left argument to apply to all digit values in the right argument:
<source lang=apl>
      2⊥1 0 1
5

[[APL2]] and [[Dyalog APL]] use a variant of singleton extension when the selected axis of the right argument has length one: each element along that axis is reused for every element of the left argument.
