<p>There is extensive support for operations on lists in the virtual code
format. Use of these features is encouraged because they are conducive
to tight code with explicit concurrency. Within an imperative
programming paradigm, these features might perhaps have to be understood
as design patterns or algorithmic skeletons. The present exposition
takes a functional view, describing them in terms of operators that take
functions as their arguments and return functions as their result.
