Oh, right. That one word that means `inaccurate way of putting things'! Invoking it solves everything! I maintain that my claims were entirely accurate. I maintain your claims are in-accurate and confusing.
In every case container has its own method of applying functions to its contents - e.g. instead of "f x" we write "x fmap f".
