Also, throw out `map`. ;)

 What is the proper name for the operation on functions of a  functor, anyway? The name `fmap` seems to driven by an analogy  with `map`.

This is getting a little off topic, but I don't believe it has a name. In category theory the name of the functor is used as an operation on the function, so that given the functor "F", instead of writing `fmap f` you'd write `F(f)`. I think this is one area where Haskell wins notationally :)
