## Functional Concepts
Argo really wants to be used with patterns borrowed from functional programming
such as `map` and `apply`. We feel that these patterns greatly reduce the pain
felt in trying to use JSON (an inherently loosely typed format) with Swift (a
strictly typed language). It also gives us a way to succinctly maintain Argo's
core concept, and short circuit the decoding process if any part of it fails.

Additionally, we feel that the use of operators for these functions greatly
improves the readability of the code we're suggesting. Using named functions
