This is true, and I considered your approach when writing functions like `elem`. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, I wanted to avoid introducing more closures than necessary. Secondly, I wanted to keep the source code reasonably transparent (if admittedly rather terse).

There is definitely a place for your approach, and it may even be the better one in practise. It's hard to say without writing large projects in both.
