The arguments for and against the patch could be brought against partial()
itself, so I don't understand the -1's at all.

I know I hardly every use partial() (apart from the performance aspect, it looks
like a completely useless addition to me), but from a performance standpoint,
partial.skip has as much usefulness as partial() itself.
