Olav,

Do you mean similar to passing a map function into M/R, but a function
which is applied to the term rather than the object?  I agree that would be
neater, and much more powerful ... I just don't know how to do it.

I'm short of time at the moment to progress this, but perhaps in the next
couple of weeks I may try and revisit that idea.
