I'd actually like to see %(...) become (partial ...), as I think people associate % with anonymous functions. Which is why I chose (% ...), as it's close to what I wish we had.
I get your point though, and I don't disagree. But, this does keep coming up, so I think a shorter syntax for partial would be nice, whether it's %(), #&() or whatever.
