Not quite. They never seem to have come to an agreement (the whole thing is
deferred) but they do touch upon "~f(x)":
5. Using ~ as generic elementwise meta-character to replace map
~f(a, b) # map(f, a, b)
~~f(a, b) # map(lambda *x:map(f, *x), a, b)
More generally,
def ~f(*x): return map(f, *x)
def ~~f(*x): return map(~f, *x)
...
I used "f~(x)" because it's not ambiguous with the current binary not operator.
