Subject: [ruby-core:61669] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9620] Rename "curry" to "schönfinkelize"

Issue #9620 has been updated by Zachary Scott.


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

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.
