True, but it wouldn't have the speed of the built-in map implimented
in C, would it?  :)

(Yes, longing for such things is left over from tinkering with
Haskell; there are so many algorithms that fall to simple expression
applied to Streams and lazy-evaluation.)

Hmmmmm, that should certainly work ...

I'm tempted to try and get Stackless Python working with this just to
see what kind of interaction it'd have.
