Description:

In functional programming, currying is a way to bind arguments with
a function and wait for the rest of the arguments to show up later.
You 'curry in' the first few parameters to a function, giving
you a function that takes subsequent parameters as input and
calls the original with all of those parameters. This recipe uses
a class instance to hold the parameters before their first use.
For example:


double = curry(operator.mul, 2)

triple = curry(operator.mul, 3)
