Partial application and curried functions are subtly different.

Consider a "+" operator that does currying:

    ((+ 5) 10)

If the plus operator is not currying, that's either an arity or type error. You're either not supplying enough arguments to +, or you're trying to do this:

    (5 10)

Partial application can be explicit, without currying:

    ((partial + 5) 10)
