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?
