Partial-application/currying is another issue (related or not), but I
made no mention of it.
I meant map simply as "higher-order function that applies a given
function element-wise to a list of elements and returns a list of
results". No currying involved.

What would you call such a function parameter (either for map or
just generally).
What parameter?
According to what I said above, the parameter that is a function (the
function that will transform the elements). The only other parameter is
the collection or iterator.
That is, what would you call a function that takes one parameter of
some type, and produces another object/data from that input?
I meant generally. So for example if you were coding in Java or some
other language that does not have first order functions, but instead
have to wrap them as an interface, what would you call the interface?
