Subject: [ruby-core:61668] Re:	[ruby-trunk - Feature #9620] [Rejected] Rename "curry" to "schönfinkelize"

I think because the proposed method is not for ���native��� speakers, its meant for third party individuals ;)

It was meant as a joke

> 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��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.
