So... my question is, is "functional" an accepted term for these constructs?

I think that these categories of functions should have clear distinct names:

    DOMAIN           RANGE

    non-functions    non-functions

    non-functions    functions

    functions        functions

    functions        non-functions

It seems like "higher-order", "functional", and "combinator", are used interchangably for functions with a domain of functions. More precision is in order.

If you can't point to authoritative names, by all means, paint the bikeshed. :-)
