### `map` ###

    -> Tests for functionality "Evaluate Robin Expression (with List)"

`map` evaluates its first argument to obtain an operator, and its second argument
to obtain a list.  It then evaluates to a list which is obtained by applying
the operator to each element of the given list.  The operator is generally assumed
to be a one-argument function.

    |   (map (fun (x) (list x)) (literal (three dog night)))
    = ((three) (dog) (night))

While it is possible to pass an operator that is not a function, it is not
very productive.  (Also, it exposes the implementation of `map`, so this
is not a very good test.)

    |   (map (fexpr (args env) args) (literal (three dog night)))
    = (((head li)) ((head li)) ((head li)))
