Hi Alexandrians,

I believe curry and rcurry are the wrong names for the functions
in Alexandria. See the following for example,

http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-26/mail-archive/msg00000.html
http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-26/mail-archive/msg00015.html

What about papply or partial-apply? Or maybe p-apply? This way,
The reversed version might be called rp-apply. Otherwise
reverse-partial-apply?

I am aware that this is a common usage/mistake in CL, but
Alexandria doesn't have to perpetuate this error. An unfortunate
downside is breaking backwards compatibility. I'm not sure what
Alexandria's policy is regarding this...
