This is snippet of code solves the interesting (and specialized) problem of generating all permutations of a list. I hope you like recursion.
For exmaple:
permute( [0,1,2] )
would return
[[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[1,0,2],[1,2,0],[2,0,1],[2,1,0]]
For exmaple:permute( [0,1,2] )
would return
[[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[1,0,2],[1,2,0],[2,0,1],[2,1,0]]

Introduction
This function is a function that returns a function. You pass it a function, and it returns a function that takes a collection as a parameter and applies your function to it. The difference between this and map is that this returns a function that you can use again which takes a collection as a parameter.
For Example
If I had a collection c, and a function p that prints its argument, I can create a visitor function using the following:
printVisitor=createVisitor(p)
Then any time I want to print a collection I just type:
printVisitor(c)
A Better Example
If you were writing an IRC server you would probably have many functions that operated on a list of users, such as ban,makeop, etc. You could create those functions in a manor similar to the following:
banUsers=createVisitor(ban)
makeOperators=createVisitor(makeop)
Then in a seperate file you could use these functions as if they were regular functions.
you would type banUsers(users) to ban, or makeOperators(users) to promote those users.
