Description

I have just been able to understand the difference between currying and partial application. With this newly acquired knowledge, I would like to canvass in favor of making the symbol :curry incorrectly mean partial application all over the core, while current (correct) #curry be (again correctly) renamed to #schönfinkelize. I think that this longish word with its nice umlaut captures well the contorted and unnatural nature of the operation in question. Should the umlaut be an obstacle to this proposal, #scheinfinkelize or (if we want to stick with food) #aufschnittschneiden, or simply #aufschnitt would do.
