What language are we speaking of here? I'm sure somebody here would be
|
|
interested in a description of this mystery construct, if it's sufficiently
|
|
elegant. Sorry, I find your post amusingly cryptic.

It should be mentioned that map and filter (and especially their buddy
|
|
lambda) are lonely immigrants from the land of functional programming, and
|
|
are regarded with suspicion by many of the natives.
