The implementation can be made more efficient, but my question is
whether or not a `curry' function should be part of Elisp's arsenal. I
think it should, the same way as we have `apply-partially'.
The fact that closures are expensive is a bit sad, but I don't think
that we should discourage users from using them.
Cheers,
Nico
