No, I'm not arguing against HOFs in general. I'm arguing against the
repeated use of the _same_ anonymous function throughout code. These
should clearly be named funtions instead.
But I've apparently touched a nerve, because so many FPers seem to
equate eschewing repetition of the same anonymous functional idoim in
numerous places throughout ones code, with an attack on HOF use itself.
