Because currying is ubiquitous in Haskell, you can use the same
function in either a curried or non-curried fashion. But in
Python you need different functions for the different usage
styles.

My feeling is that Python shouldn't provide a bunch of
different versions of the same function that differ only in
the degree of currying. If you want a particular curried
combination, it's easy enough to create it as needed using
lambda, nested functions or partial().
