That's true, but I find it highly unlikely that good explicit syntax for currying exists that isn't just better syntax for anonymous functions in general, and I was considering anonymous function syntax to not be part of the currying debate. This view will change immediately if someone suggests good syntax, of course, though that's almost certainly a different thread.
