# Traversing values

The preserves.fold module exports various utilities for traversing compound `Value`s.

## `map_embeddeds(f, v)`

Returns an equivalent copy of `v`, except where each contained Embedded value is replaced by `f` applied to the Embedded's `embeddedValue` attribute.

    >>> map_embeddeds(lambda w: Embedded(f'w={w}'), ['a', Embedded(123), {'z': 6.0}])
    ('a', #!'w=123', {'z': 6.0})
