Heh. Well, only one of us is a functional programmer.

In python, some functions take `as many arguments as the user choses to
supply'. I may wish to take such a function, bind in an initial
sub-sequence of those arguments, yet still allow the result's callers to
supply arbitrarily many following.
An implementation of currie which can't cope with *args isn't pythonic.
