Your estimate of what others will do when
knocking out 10 line scripts in a hurry,
or what's in your current p5 modules?
Both.


Can currying include the given topic?

    sub bar is given($foo) {
        ...
    }

    $foo = &bar.assuming( foo => 0 )
Maybe. Depends whether we treat the topic specifier as an out-of-band
parameter mechanism. Personally, I'm leery of doing that, but Larry might
well feel it's okay.

And what about a topic placeholder:

    $foo = { print $^_ };

such that $^_ is effectively converted to
an 'is given($^_)'.
No, that doesn't work. The placeholder $^_ is
entirely unrelated to $_. Besides, what's wrong with:

     $foo = sub { print $_ } is given($_);

???
