As in Computer Science. Using a currying function requires people new to jQuery to go look it up, where they'll encounter:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry and probably eventually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying "Given a function *f* of type [image: f \colon (X \times Y) \to Z], then * currying* it makes a function [image: \mbox{curry}(f) \colon X \to (Y \to Z)]. That is, curry(*f*) takes an argument of type *X* and returns a function of type [image: Y \to Z].*Uncurrying* is the reverse transformation." Prototype added features like this to 1.6, and while they're interesting and useful, they make it hard for people coming to a codebase (especially people new to the framework) to understand what's happening in the code.
