Then I thought it might be right to do
partial(operator.attrgetter('lower')). This, however, accomplishes
exactly nothing. I only decided this after actually trying it, though
upon reflection partial(function) always accomplishes nothing.
I don't have any conclusion from this, but only mention it to
demonstrate that callables on top of callables are likely to confuse.
