Thanks to everyone. Bill's was the purest solution of them all (if I 
understand correctly the meaning of purity). However, my example was to 
naive (linear).

I would like to have a new function with basically the same purity as 
Bill's solution

f = #1 Block[{x}, NIntegrate[x, {x, 0, #}] & /@ #2] &;

but this time to be able to produce the equivalent of 

{NIntegrate[Sqrt[2x+3], {x, 0, 0.1}], NIntegrate[Sqrt[2x+3], {x, 0, 0.5}],
NIntegrate[Sqrt[2x+3], {x, 0, 0.9}]}

when evaluating f[2,3,{0.1,0.5,0.9}]

Thanks again.
