Like : with Damian's C<given>...C<when> example. When I'm writing scripts, I : don't want to type those 6 characters, but if I'm doing structured : programming, the clearer the better. To parallel this, when I'm writing : scripts, I'm going to use placeholder functions, but in structured : programming, I'm probably not.
I don't think the switch example is actually currying. It's really just using a self-declared parameter, which the switch statement is smart enough to feed the proper "other" argument to. Offhand I don't see a generalization of it that would let us pass in fancier curries usefully--it's got to resolve to a function that has a boolean result. What would a switch (or a C<=~> for that matter) do with a two-argument curry? And is that red, yellow, or green curry? Larry
