How clever is the compiler?  Will it be necessary to write

map({M,F}, L) -> map_(fun(X) -> M:F(X) end, L);
map(F, L) when is_function(F, 1) -> map_(F, L).

map_(F, [H|T]) -> [F(H) | map_(F, T)];
map_(F, []) -> [].

(possibly with additional guards in map_/2, if that makes the
compiler/an analyzer happier) to avoid a performance penalty?

Regards,

Carsten
