Has anyone done any work on creating a more general curry function? One 
that might for instance curry the second of three positional arguments? 
Using the above definitions:

f2 = curry2(f, a, c)
f2(b)

I've used one-off curry functions for this, but I'm surprised that 
nobody seems to have considered this. (Maybe everybody just writes 
wrappers around functions?

def f2(a, c, b): return f(a,b,c)
f3 = curry(f, a, c)

)

Not a biggie, just curious. But I have had instances where I needed this 
type of currying.
