I don't really like the complicating DWIM stuff in List:map (i.e.
is_type(arg1,List)):
 function List:map (fun,arg1,...)
 local res
 if is_type(arg1,List) then
 res = map2(fun,self,arg1,...)
 else
 res = imap(fun,self,arg1,...)
 end
 return setmetatable(res,List)
 end
e.g. what if someone really wanted to pass a list as arg1 and have it
operated with imap?
