One of the best examples of partial that I've seen is in the
debug-repl...look it up on github and see how it is being used there in
the main function that starts the debug repl...basically every time you
invoke the debug-repl within the same repl session you're going to have
different local bindings...so partial takes care of returning a function
that has all your bindings "precollected"...I don't know if I'm saying
this right...if you leave the debug-repl but some time afterwards you
want to enter it again your locals will be re-bound to your current ones...
Hope that helps...

Hi,
What is the idiomatic use of partial. I understand it helps create
closures, however the reader notation also allows to the same. So when
should partial be use dover other forms of creating functions.
Thanks,
Murtaza
