[Python-ideas] Make partial a built-in

[David Mertz]

I find myself "partializing" in ways partial() doesn't support more often
than not. E.g.

lambda first, third: myfunc(first, 42, third)

I think it's good to have partial() in functools, but it's two orders of
magnitude less common than things that should be in builtins.
