My experience with other languages leads me to want a 'map that can
take an argument function, returning a function which can be applied
to a block to yield a block of (corresponding) results, as in
(HYPOTHETICAL):
>> map: ; MISSING (I have no idea at this point)
>> map-odd: map odd?
>> map-odd [1 2 3 4 5]
== [true false true false true]
Could someone (Jeff?) supply the definition for 'map missing above?
