Duane,

Your fourth diagram is hard to distinguish from that for a function
that takes three inputs and returns one. And what would be the diagram
for a function that maps one binary function to another?

I spend a bit of my time at work playing with typed visual dataflow
type tools. I've never really seen a satisfactory visual scheme for
clearly representing higher order functions and I've never managed to
come up with one myself.
