Functions that manipulate other functions.

This module provides functions for compile time function composition. These
functions are helpful when constructing predicates for the algorithms in

 * expensive than a hash table lookup. For more information on memoization, refer to $(HTTP docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhop.perl.plover.com%2Fbook%2Fpdf%2F03CachingAndMemoization.pdf, this book chapter).

    enforce that because sometimes it is useful to memoize an impure function, too.
