Or maybe more general notions, such as

   "define a recursive datatype together with a catamorphism combinator"

or even

   "embed a domain-specific language via combinators over an ADT"

There are patterns of that sort in our programs, which we would probably
rather call design techniques, which aren't so easily captured by a
higher-order function definition.
