The use of GCD as an extension of [[Or]], and its extension to complex rational numbers, was proposed by [[Eugene McDonnell]] at [[APL75]].<ref>[[Eugene McDonnell]].

However, some APLs, such as [[APL2]], [[APLX]], and [[Kap]], keep [[Or]] as a pure [[boolean function]] and do not extend it, while [[K]] uses the [[Maximum]] function as Or. | ||
