Do you see a way these proposals can work together? I believe they are
solving different needs. Both proposals produce a new anonymous function,
but partial application deals with currying, while the placeholder proposal
tries to prevent writing a function at all. I can actually see the two
working together:
```js
const filenames = ['file1.txt', 'file2.txt' 'output.log' ]
const fileContainsContent = (filename, content) =>
fs.readFileSync(filename).toString().includes(content)
const fileSearchers = filenames.map(fileContainsContent(*, ?))
const filesContainingSearch = fileSearchers.filter(searcher =>
searcher('foobar'))
```
This isn't a very useful example, but you can see how the proposals differ
accomplish different things
