Side note: map in void context no longer carries the overhead that it did and, in any event, if you must apply the same behavior to every element in a list, many programmers find using map is often clearer than foreach. Sometimes it's just a stylistic thing.

Of course, you point out that the word "map" can be misleading, but if one merely thinks of the word "apply" or something else in place of map, it makes more sense. After all, Lisp programmers have gotten along with lambda for many years. (Not to mention car and cdr!)
