map
     
        1.  {function}.
     
        2.  In {functional programming}, the most common
        {higher-order function} over lists.  Map applies its first
        argument to each element of its second argument (a list) and
        returns the list of results.
     
        	map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
        	map f []     = []
        	map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
     
        This can be generalised to types other than lists.
