There's a standard function 'flip' which solves a somewhat simpler and more 
common form of this problem. If you have a function f that takes x and y, is 
there some way to supply y and get back a function that takes x?
     flip f y
Flip is defined as
    flip f x y = f y x
This technique can be extended to answer your question.  It doesn't nail down 
the value of currying.
