Just use a function call with three > arguments. That's way cool. <Flash of insight> Of course! - CURRYING!! If you can return closures you can do everything with just single-parameter functions.</Flash of insight> BTW I am not really trying to add three objects, I wanted a third object which controls the way the addition is done.
