[Python-ideas] Make partial a built-in

[אלעזר]

If at all, it should be function.bind(). It was discussed and dropped; I
don't remember why, but one problem is that it looks like an in-place
modification.

Personally I think that higher order programming should not be encouraged
(as opposed to functional programming), and from the lambda syntax I
understand it isn't.
