Ok, so
struct Map { template<typename T> struct apply { typedef int type;

is a "lambda expression" then?

Did you honestly think that I was refering to the *definition* per se, and not the *defined entity* (Map)? ... The reason that "metafunctor" is not that intimidating to more junior (w.r.t. meta programming) is that they have learned the use of "functors" in generic algorithms and such in C++. And it seems to me that things being applicable via mpl::apply is the closest we get to that notion. /David
