// This module adds high-level functions and related constructs:
//	- anonymous functions built from the string

// Acknoledgements:
//	- lambda() is based on work by Oliver Steele
//		(http://osteele.com/sources/javascript/functional/functional.js)
//		which was published under MIT License

// Notes:
//	- lambda() produces functions, which after the compilation step are
//		as fast as regular JS functions (at least theoretically).

// Lambda input values:
//	- returns functions unchanged
//	- converts strings to functions
//	- converts arrays to a functional composition
