I forgot the distinction between currying and partial

Currying is turning (A, B, C) -> D into A -> (B -> (C -> D)),
i.e. a function with multiple arguments into a sequence of
functions that each take a single argument to apply each.
I think I've implemented something like that for fun once, but
never really found much use for it. In the few places where I
could have used it (mostly binary functions), just using a lambda
and partial application seemed to be much more idiomatic. I guess
D lacks any idioms that would make its use come naturally.
