we also define currying in current D? -- Andrei
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.

Thanks. I guess it'd be nice to have it on code.dlang.org somewhere so
people can play with it. -- Andrei
