> To summarize, I'm submitting "sequencing" and "bundling" as the two simple verbs that better describe "currying" and "uncurrying".

"Currying" and "uncurrying" are widely understood by programmers, and "sequencing" and "bundling" are often used in programming for other things, so your idea reduces clarity in favor of some aesthetic preference to avoid turning proper names into verbs when creating new technical terms.

So, I think we're better off just sticking with currying and uncurrying.

Good thoughts. I'm interested to see if there are other opinions.
