@section{description}
Operating on functions instead of numbers, what results is not a result of the calculation, but a structure that represents that calculation.
@section{examples}
@racketblock[
// example
a = 0.8.linexp(0, 1, 40, 20000); // map (0..1) to exponentially to human frequency hearing range
a = { b }.linexp(0, 1, 40, 20000); // result is a NAryOpFunction
b = 0.1;
a.value; // now it is evaluated, and the result is calculated
b = 0.5;
a.value; // again, with a different value.
