The verb "curry" is not defined in the context of programming.

Right. We have whatever-currying, but not what's understood, in functional programming, as currying. Maybe add to the glossary?

Yes, that would help. In fact I was going to submit a PR for that but think it would be better coming from someone more familiar with its use in mathematics. I got sidetracked with its common definition in cooking.

I notice Zoffix also created an issue on the whatever-currying discussion.

There's no built in in Raku that does currying, there's no obvious affinity of the notion with anything in Raku, mentioning it is like mentioning COBOL picture clauses outside a COBOL to Raku guide. Why?
