No good reason. What's the name? transformfunc?

transformfunc looks... truncated. Why not transformfunction or transfunc? The stdlib commonly uses "func" rather than "function". For example "functools", where partial has an attribute named "func". I suppose it's like "int" vs. "integer". The same functools has decoratingfunction() with the userfunction argument. Also findfunction, searchfunction, createfunction, isfunction, isgeneratorfunction, fromfunction, hasfunction, copyfunction, picklefunction, registerfunction, emitfunction, and printfunction. This is not counting tests, IDLE and private names.

The name of the parameter in init is 'transform'. We could just call it that.
