My main non-technical reaction is that more I see "Mapper", the more I hate it. It interacts awfully especially with Maps. "Fun" (with lots of precedent in other languages) would be fine. Even "Function" would be fine.

I agree with Doug, my students have less problem with filter/Predicate/test than with map/Mapper/map, so instead of map/Mapper/map, map//Fun/apply is in my opinion better, but requires to rename Block.apply to by example Block.execute.

I also think that UnaryOperator and BinaryOperator are name that are too long, I think that Op and BinOp are better.

and BTW, UnaryOperator should extends Mapper<T,T> and not Map<T,T> is currently suggested in the comment of the declaration of UnaryOperator.
