The examples look like those of a Java programmer translating their Java
programming style to shell programming. They can be better solved with
zargs or, if you insist on a Posix shell, then pipes. Pipes in Unix-like
systems play exactly the role of map, filter and reduce in functional
systems.
That's not to say that there's no merit to the idea. I'd just like to see
more compelling examples.
