Comment(by nthiery):
Thanks much for pointing out functools.partial and functool.wrapper; I
have several other use cases for them!
Replying to [comment:14 timdumol]:

collision with functools.partial? Then again, it supersedes
functools.partial anyways.

I prefer partial, since curry does not really encompass the specialization
of named arguments.
It's really functools.partial, but made into a decorator.
