Hmmm, more like

(map (lambda (x) {x < 10}) (list 1 7 11 22))
(#t #t #f #f)

BTW I had no idea you could do that (your version) in PLT scheme :-)  What
other buried treasures are there?

I agree with your point about not needing it after a while, but if you were
doing heavy Fortran-style numerics it might be convenient to have an infix
parser.
