On a lark, I implemented a wrapper that turns any TR1-style function object into a "curryable" function object (attached). Successive function call invocations bind arguments until enough arguments are bound to invoke the wrapped function. With it you can do the following:
curryable<std::plus<int> > p; auto curried = p(1); int i = curried(2); assert(i == 3);
Is there any interest in such a thing?
For what it's worth, I made a feature request[1] about partial function application in Phoenix on the trac a few months ago after discussing it with Heller on IRC, but interest seemed mild, probably for lack of an investigation of the side effects and the lack of a proof-of-concept implementation.
