I am curious why you would want to write the specification that way. I
would have stated it as:

; map-image: (pixel -> color) image -> image

This, of course, assumes that structures have been introduced and that
there is a structure called pixel. What is the reasoning for saying (x
y color -> color)? It seems more confusing to me, but I may be wrong.

Do your students see HOFs before lambda and local?
