How to bind function arguments without binding this?

Question

In Javascript, how can I bind arguments to a function without binding the this parameter?

For example:

//Example function.
var c = funct

It's a bit hard to tell exactly what you ultimately want to do because the example is sort of arbitrary, but you may want to look into partials (or currying): http://jsbin.com/ifoqoj/1/edit

Function.prototype.partial = function(){
  var fn = this, args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  return function(){
    var arg = 0;
    for ( var i = 0; i < args.length && arg < arguments.length; i++ )
      if ( args[i] === undefined )
        args[i] = arguments[arg++];
    return fn.apply(this, args);
  };
};

var c = function(a, b, c, callback) {
  console.log( a, b, c, callback )
};

var b = c.partial(1, 2, 3, undefined);

b(function(){})
