And why aren't functions curried (partially applied function is another
function which takes the rest arguments) by default?
Python isn't a strongly functional language. We just don't do partial function
application all that frequently to make it a language feature. Leaving out an
argument is a common enough mistake, though, and using curry-by-default would
postpone the error and make for even more inscrutable error messages.
