Could someone summarize the arguments for such an operator? Doing so, to
me, seems to subtrack from the scripting domain something which belongs
there. Teaching the transform in classes is a wonderful way to both
illustrate the power of Perl's map, and more importantly, help programmers
understand the beauty of compact Perl. I'd hate to see that relegated to
the "how-we-used-to-do-it" column in the name of making it easier.
IMO the very quest for a name would be reason enough to not do it.
"map_sort_map"? That begs the question. And since Randal asks that it not
be named after him ... (I heard he filed a trademark on Schwartzian, so
that's out. :)
