-- Map a function over `list`, which may in fact be a list of strings, a single string or nil. In general, a single
-- string is treated like a one-element list and nil is treated like a zero-element list. Any return values of the
-- function will be collected into a flattened list, where a single string is again treated like a one-element list and
-- nil is treated like a zero-element list. If the resulting list has one element (a string), that string will be
-- returned, and if the resulting list has no elements, nil will be returned. When calling a function on a string, if
-- the string has modifiers (e.g. 'vuitanta-vuit<tag:Central>' or 'سیزده<tr:sizdah>') and `include_modifiers` is not
-- specified, the function is called on the part without the modifiers, and the modifiers are then tacked onto the
-- return value(s) of the function. Strings with multiple modifiers such as 'سیزده<tr:sizdah><tag:Iranian>' are correctly
-- handled.
