Why speak nonsense when you can test it?
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
module nonsense
import StdEnv
nonsense = map ((^) 2)
Start = nonsense [1,2,3]
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.... Running gives:
[2,4,8]

I don't understand what you mean. Can you give an example ?
Kind regards,
John van Groningen
I think the idea was that Clean doesn't support a syntax like "map (**2)" for a function that will take a list and square its elements. The call to map there is not fully saturated, since it's waiting for another argument.
(As a disclaimer, I've not used Clean, so I could be speaking nonsense; it's just how I read the original statement.)
