The lexbind branch has this.

| curry is a built-in function in `src/eval.c'.
| (curry fun &rest args)
| 
| Return fun curried with args.
| The result is a function-like object that will append any arguments it
| is called with to args, and call fun with the resulting list of
| arguments.
| 
| For instance:
|   (funcall (curry '+ 3 4 5) 2) is the same as (funcall '+ 3 4 5 2)
| and:
|   (mapcar (curry 'concat "The ") '("a" "b" "c"))
|   => ("The a" "The b" "The c")
