Hey,

When browsing through clojure.core I noticed something peculiar in the 
implementation of comp, juxt and partial.  

All three share the same implementation pattern. They define separate methods 
for the arity of 0,1,2,3 and any.   

For example in juxt:
(defn juxt
   (…)
  ([f g]  
     (fn
       ([] [(f) (g)])
       ([x] [(f x) (g x)])
       ([x y] [(f x y) (g x y)])
       ([x y z] [(f x y z) (g x y z)])
       ([x y z & args] [(apply f x y z args) (apply g x y z args)])))
  ([f g h]  
     (fn
       ([] [(f) (g) (h)])
       ([x] [(f x) (g x) (h x)])
       ([x y] [(f x y) (g x y) (h x y)])
       ([x y z] [(f x y z) (g x y z) (h x y z)])
       ([x y z & args] [(apply f x y z args) (apply g x y z args) (apply h x y 
z args)])))
    (…)

I'm sure there is a reason they are implemented like this but my curiosity 
needs to be sated: what is it?

Thank you,
