I'm still not sure what to answer. If map and filter were user defined
functions they may occur anywhere in your current module (or must be
imported) and you can apply any argument in scope (of proper type).

You could i.e. apply "(if <cond> then map else filter)" to "id"
  which is the same as "if <cond> then map id else filter id"

C.
