I like the idea of currying, it seems powerful and Perlish in many ways. 
However, I don't like the currying operator chosen, because of it's ugliness
(IMHO), and its potential for ambiguity (human, not necessarily parser).

So, here is my proposal to change the operator.

    from      to
    ------    ---------
    ^_        ^^
    ^2, ^3    ^^2, ^^3
    ^named    ^^named

To me, it stands out better, and is less likely to cause the programmer
looking at it to scratch his head and try to figure out if it's an xor or a
curry.  I did it myself several times, and I consider myself at least a
competent programmer.

I know I'm coming into this late, I apologize.  I did not follow much of the
discussion.  I've tried to catch up on the arguments via the archive as best
I could, but I may have missed something.
