Comprehensive comprehensions

Though functional programming purists may object, I find that the isolation of higher-order functions is useful, particularly if implemented as language extensions, not language rewrites.

That is the case of map, filter and reduce implementation as explained in diditwith.net. And where, groupby and select in LINQ.

Lambda the Ultimate is referencing a Microsoft Research proposal about comprehensive comprehensions. What's your side of the fence?
