There has been some proposals to add functional operators to libgee, but
none yet got to something.

See :
  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libgee-list/2010-June/msg00001.html
and also :
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589968

You are very welcome to contribute to libgee. Also you can discuss that
on bugzilla, libgee-list or #gee.

Best regards, Didier.
