Say I have a list:



l = {{{a, b}, c}, d}


I now want to apply a function, call it F to that list in a way that I go from the lowest to highest level, i.e. 



F[{F[{F[{a,b}], c}] , d}]


Is there a function in Mathematica which does exactly that?

    Why does the order for d and c change, and not for a and b?

    Another possibility, if you want just lists to acquire the F wrapper:



    l /. List -> F@*List



    F[{F[{F[{a, b}], c}], d}]

      This works:



      {{{a, b}, c}, d} //. {{s_?ListQ, t_?(Not@*ListQ)} :> {f[s], t}} // f


      It's a bit hackish because of the separate invocation of f at the end, but it returns the desired result.
