In very simple cases it might be simpler than writing those lambda  
functions. STL introduced functional programming paradigms in C++, that's  
why I thought there is a standard way in Lisp to do it and the STL  
developers simply implemented the same function binders in C++.

I know I can write my own macros to do that, but a standardized way would  
be better, because it would be recognized by other Lisp programmers too.  
 From your answer it's clear there are no such standard macros in (e)lisp,  
so it's not really worth the trouble, because it would only make my  
programs harder to read for others.
