Abandoned Syntax Proposal
 
I originally suggested the syntax fn@(*args, **kw), meaning the same as 
partial(fn, *args, **kw).
 
The @ sign is used in some assembly languages to imply register indirection, 
and the use here is also a kind of indirection. f@(x) is not f(x), but a thing 
that becomes f(x) when you call it.
 
It was not well-received, so I have withdrawn this part of the proposal. In any 
case, @ has been taken for the new decorator syntax

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Maybe change '@' -> '%'
