In contrast to primitive functions, functionals operate on other functions. For example, some functions have a ''unit'' value, such as 0 for ''addition'' and 1 for ''multiplication''. The functional '''unit''' produces such a '''value''' when applied to a '''function f''' that has one:
'''unit +''' = 0
'''unit
'''unit foo''' = ⊥
