I see no problems in the preceding email, so I think you have nothing
to apologize for.

I don't think this explains the purpose of the function clearly
enough.  The documentation of apply-partially doesn't mention any
"alignment", so it's hard to understand what you want to say here.
Can you think of a better description?

> + "Return argument squared.")
> +@end group
> +@group

> + @result{} 9
> +@end group
> +@end example

IMO, the example could be more revealing if you could contrast
apply-rpartially with apply-partially.

After we find a good wording for the manual, we should think how to
reword the NEWS entry accordingly.

Thanks.
