Function objects are not 'functor's. Please do not call them that. Functor is a word that has a specific meaning in category theory that winds up being relevant in some other programming languages (Haskell, ML and friends) and we don't need to shoot ourselves in the foot by overloading it with another meaning.

A functor is another word for "function object".
