Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jan's recent commit in master (05514c83a49dd)
removed the rest of the currying functions that Ian and I were
puzzling over.  The reason I'm only "pretty sure" is because I will be
doing further tests tonight to see if that's really true.

I'll comment on Ian's patch after I test-compile 2.0 without it.

I agree with you there.  I intend to continue working on
backward-compatibility patches for 2.14 that will work on both Guile
1.8 and 2.0, but the Guile-2.0-specific patches (if needed) will have
to wait for 2.15.

I only slightly misunderstood your email after all...  ;)

Thanks,
