This seems like it'd involve too much machinery and give unexpected results.

I'd expect `instance.map(...)` to return another one of `instance`. That is, 
given a MapIterator `i`, I'd expect `i.map(...)` to be another MapIterator, and 
not a Map like you are proposing.

Right, I was smoking something bad. The uniformity you describe is clearly the right solution.

This meansMap.prototype.mapetc. -- or %ItereablePrototype%.map if not Array.prototype.map etc. -- are the eager collection-generic companions.
