An easy-to-use, dependency-free set of functions for iterating over elements of various input objects. Functions are wrappers around base apply()/lapply()/vapply() functions but designed to have similar functionality to the mapping functions in the 'purrr' package <https://purrr.tidyverse.org/>. Specifically, function names more explicitly communicate the expected class of the output and functions also allow for the convenient shortcut of '~ .x' instead of the more verbose 'function(.x) .x'.
