Hey, thanks! It was getting late and the filter between my thoughts and
what gets pushed to github was malfunctioning :) Decided to roll with it.

I like it! I will not use it in my work, but I find it a nice piece of coding 
art.
It might help some people to understand how mapping functions and the 
@-last-result mechanism works.

Maybe we should introduce perl-like obfuscation and ASCII-Art code style 
contests, although it violates the picolisp pillar of transparency ;-)

What's good everyone?

I've really been liking the function 'map@' from a few threads back. I
wrote a  little library that follows this idea to its logical conclusion.
It's mostly a joke, so have some fun with it!

I starred it on github - the README deserves it purely on its own
merits :-D ...and the link to Infected Mushroom of course. I'm
guessing there too much coffee was involved?

Great question. Apologies if that was lost amongst the rest of the nonsense
there. It simply provides an alternate syntax for the mapping functions
(mapcar, seek, fish, etc).

Instead of,

(mapcar
   '((X) (doThings X)
   (1 2 3) )

you can write,

(mapcar@ (1 2 3)
   (doThings @) )

Same idea applied to the rest of the mapping functions. Note that the
function you pass to the mapper (e.g. doThings) is assumed to have only one
argument, referred to by '@'.
