You're right. It wasn't really a serious answer, it was meant
for fun. Definitely along the lines of Ivan's "Haskell Effect".
I think Mujtaba has been enjoying this discussion. I hope
we'll be seeing more of him around here.

Thanks to you and Ivan for pointing out sources, though.

My "for" function was indeed "flip map". Perhaps it's not
in any library, but it's often seen on the #haskell IRC
channel. :)
