[Cuis-dev] curried blocks

[Mark Volkmann]

I wanted to see if it was possible to define a class that supports partial
application with blocks. The goal is to be able to pass fewer arguments
than a block requires and get back a new "block" that requires
the remaining arguments. Perhaps this has already been done and I just
didn't find it.

Here are examples of using my solution:

cb := CurriedBlock block: [:a :b | a + b].
cb valueWithArguments: #(2 3). "5"

cb2 := cb valueWithArguments: #(5). "a new CurriedBlock"
cb2 valueWithArguments: #(7). "12"

I attached my solution as a fileOut. I'd love to get some feedback in terms
of style and better ways to implement it. What would you do differently?
