[ruby-core:61415] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9620] Rename "curry" to "sch旦nfinkelize"

Issue #9620 has been updated by Boris Stitnicky.


The deep benefit of this improvement would be that in this way, the real first author of this operation, Moses Sch旦nfinkel, would be commemorated, while "partial application" would gain a shortish name.

----------------------------------------
I have just been able to understand the difference between currying and partial application. With this newly acquired knowledge, I would like to canvass in favor of making the symbol `:curry` incorrectly mean partial application all over the core, while current (correct) `#curry` be (again correctly) renamed to `#sch旦nfinkelize`. I think that this longish word with its nice umlaut captures well the contorted and unnatural nature of the operation in question. Should the umlaut be an obstacle to this proposal, `#scheinfinkelize` or (if we want to stick with food) `#aufschnittschneiden`, or simply `#aufschnitt` would do.
