Theoretically that could be useful, but I've also never seen connections used this way. I have seen components connected in more than one way, but of course that's no easier with the curried style. And, I'd point out, if someone actually wanted to share the configuration, it's trivial enough to write:

  const SpecificConnection = (Component) => connect(Component, mapState, mapDispatch);

Not that I'd argue against currying generally -- it's only that it turns out to be a little awkward here with the various optional parameters to connect, and also that the connection setup in practice seems to be tightly coupled to the connected component.
