And this is made worse by the fact that Mapper becomes the de-facto "Function" (or maybe this is the central problem with it; if it were used only in map(...) calls you probably wouldn't have noticed.)

On the other end of the spectrum, I am still pretty negative on "Fun" and "Function" for reasons we've already discussed.

So, what are the alternatives in the middle that might work?

Transform(er) Project{ion,or} more?

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. -Doug
