  Yes, I have confused my meaning a bit. +(f*) is also unique,
  and that was the arrow I was thinking of.

  So, we have f* : (A, B) -> (C, C), comprising h and k, so I
  am not sure sure how + will act on it. As I've seen with + so
  far, it works like this on arrows:

    +((A -> C), (B -> C))  |->  A+B -> C

  So, for example, +(f, g) |-> [f,g] -- so what is f* made of?
  This is what seems to be happening:

    +((A, B) -> (C, C))  |->  A+B -> C+C

  So how are h and k paired? Their pairing puts them CxC but
  seemingly in a different way from the way I've paired f and g.
