How to curry a … argument by position in R?

Question

This may fall under \"you can\'t, and there\'s no reason to anyway,\" but I\'m curious if it\'s possible. At very least, maybe it will be a fun R puzzle.

Looks like Curry() pretty effectively hardwires the two argument lists in the opposite order from what you'd like. It's a simple enough function though, that you can just construct its mirror image, and use it instead.

Curry2 <- function(FUN, ...) {
    .orig = list(...)
    function(...) do.call(FUN, c(list(...), .orig))
}

catnip <- Curry2( cat, "\n" )
catnip("hi")
