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.
