If both a and b in (a -> (b -> ((line, element) -> radiance)))
all you'll get is some strange pattern of synchronization
between a and b values (like beats between two tones). Any
reasonable thing you want to do with maps to Animation can
be done with maps to SelectValue.

The latter does not allow maps of a or b to Animation of
SelectValue. I can't think of any advantages of the latter
off-hand.

Good luck,
