Or when mapped by any other function that doesn't preserve the cardinality
of its input. A function that returns two items for every supplied item
works in exactly the same way as a function that returns zero items for
every supplied item: at least it's consistent! And it's also consistent with
the behaviour of the "/" operator in path expressions, which I haven't heard
anyone complain about.
