And he's wrong, at least as far as common lisp is concerned - map does
exactly that.

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_map.htm

Map doesn't work on generators or iterators because they're not part
of the common lisp spec, but if someone implemented them as a library,
said library could easily include a map that handled them as well.
