see my curry-by-closure comments.  I think that having positional
args given at call-time concatenated after those given at curry-time
("if any" in either case), and kw args given at call-time taking precedence 
over those given at curry-time (ditto), is most natural and useful.
I think the syntax you propose is equivalent (for positional args --
you don't mention kw args).
