Seems promising.  I added in notes about a case on which it breaks, at this
point.

f3withquote

The "obvious" change to map is thus:

cbbrowne@cbbrowne /tmp/maptest> function map {
    local func_name=$1
    shift
    for elem in $@; print -- $(eval $func_name "${elem}")
}

But somewhat curiously that doesn't help :-(.
