Forgive me but I have no idea what you are talking about. If you are
being serious, what is partial function application? What would the
advantages be? Would the advantage offset the disadvatages it may
create elsewhere? If you were not, then please don't afford yourself as
so funny.

I believe it was Richard Feynman who said, though I paraphrase, "Never
underestimate the power of a new notation."
