That depends. If you put the definition

g = curry f

at the top level of the module *and g is exported from the module*, the 
monomorphism restriction still applies. If g is not exported from the 
module (be it by not putting it in the module's explicit export list or 
because it's a local definition and not a top level definition), the MR 
does not apply and g has its fully polymorphic type.

Yes, MR is fun, fun, fun.

But generally, MR problems occur far more seldomly in source files than 
ghci sessions.

It's not so bad actually. It looks daunting at first, but if it's broken 
down a bit, it's understandable, I think.
