I don't think function currying (a.k.a. partial application) is a weird
trick, but I'm also not sure how important it is in Emacs Lisp given
that we prefer writing code in an imperative style. And we can just
create a lambda instead; it is slightly more verbose but also slightly
more familiar.
I've personally missed this a couple of times though, so I definitely
wouldn't mind if it was added.
