Regarding names, I would not place a bang after it (!), as there is nothing in that function itself that forbids its use inside transactions. Functions which primary purpose is to produce side effects tend to begin with 'do', so my suggestion is to name it 'domap'.
I am however still not convinced of its usefulness beyond very few specific cases. If you often need to call some side-effecty function for all items in the collection, consider extending that function so it accepts a collection as an argument, or make it a variadic fn.
