In fact, this looks more like currying than like a partial function to me. ;-)
(I.e. pow is curried, in the sense that arguments are 'attached'/'filled in'.)
Although square will be a partial function in the sense that it cannot be
called with arbitrarily typed objects, this is obviously not what is meant
here.
However, I would have inserted 'even' into "They can [even] be used to
construct...", or is this the only point of Callable objects?
