<DL>
<DD>Returns a list that applies <code>function</code> to each element of <code>fromList</code>. The returned list is a transformed view of <code>fromList</code>;
changes to <code>fromList</code> will be reflected in the returned list and vice
versa.
<p>Since functions are not reversible, the transform is one-way and new
items cannot be stored in the returned list. The <code>add</code>,
<code>addAll</code> and <code>set</code> methods are unsupported in the returned
list.
<p>The function is applied lazily, invoked when needed. This is necessary
for the returned list to be a view, but it means that the function will be
applied many times for bulk operations like <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/List.html?is-external=true#contains(java.lang.Object)" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>List.contains(java.lang.Object)</CODE></A> and
<A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/List.html?is-external=true#hashCode()" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>List.hashCode()</CODE></A>. For this to perform well, <code>function</code> should be
fast. To avoid lazy evaluation when the returned list doesn't need to be a
view, copy the returned list into a new list of your choosing.
<p>If <code>fromList</code> implements <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/RandomAccess.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>RandomAccess</CODE></A>, so will the
returned list. The returned list always implements <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/Serializable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.io"><CODE>Serializable</CODE></A>,
but serialization will succeed only when <code>fromList</code> and
<code>function</code> are serializable. The returned list is threadsafe if the
supplied list and function are.

two inner lists of three and two elements, all in the original order.
