The evaluation order is not the same as the order of the elements of the
result list.

lists:reverse(lists:map(F, lists:reverse(Xs)))

and

lists:map(F, Xs)

yield the same result (if F is without side effects!), ie the orders of
the elements in the result lists are the same, but they do not evaluate
the elements in the same order.
