Also, if it's "your bag" ...

"map in void context is no longer expensive. map is now context aware, and will not construct a list if called in void context."

    I have changed all my code to not use map in a void context because of the speed penalty and because it's "bad style". That said, I prefer not using it in this manner anyway. foreach() is much easier to read if you're just trying to loop through a list anyway. :-)
