Functional values

In Objective Caml functional values are so-called first-class citizens. That is, they are considered as any other values, except for equality test ... and except the fact that they can be applied to other values! For instance  exp  is a (functional) value.

Therefore A functional value can be an argument of a function. A functional value can be the result of applying a function.

Thus higher-order functional values can be written. That is, functions taking functions as arguments and functions whose application return functions.
