By definition a *Functor* is simply a first class method, but these are common
11+
in Ruby in the form of Method and Proc classes. So for Ruby a Functor is a more
12+
specialized Higher Order Function. Essentally, a Functor can vary its behavior

accorrding to the operation applied to it.

You can also think of the Functor as an *anonymous generic delegator*. Instead
25+
of having to create a specialized delegator class, we can use a Functor. Functors
26+
are perfect when the delegation require is minimal.

NOTE: Ruby functors are not the same thing a Haskell functors. In Ruby, the
29+
Enumerator is most closely akin to Haskell's idea of a functor.
