Re: [xml-dev] What is syntax lifting?
And something more understandable ...

"In languages which support first-class functions, map may be partially applied to lift a function that works on only one value to an element-wise equivalent that works on an entire container; for example, 
map square 

is a Haskell function which squares each element of a list."

Hi Folks,

Recently I heard this term "syntax lifting" or sometimes just "lifting."

What do they mean?
