You keep reiterating this point, that once the libraries have been
written, people won't need to write any more. I don't agree. I've
already been forced to write a custom (basically package renamed with a
few tweaks) version of one of the nascent frameworks out there, because
it just didn't /quite/ do what I needed.

More generally, if you can't write your own HOF (whether for
parallelization, or simple pattern encapsulation, or any other reason)
without becoming a bit of a second class citizen, then something is
wrong.
