The curried-lambda in that article is broken (IMO) because
(curried-lambda () b b* ...)
expands to
(begin b b* ...)

This expansion also breaks (define-curried (f) ---).  Even though no one
should directly use curried-lambda or define-curried with zero
arguments, it's still broken because macros should be fully general so
they can be built upon by, say, other macros which expand to using
curried-lambda or define-curried and the zero-argument case can happen.

Also, I consider it inadequate because it doesn't handle "rest"
arguments and because it requires applying one argument at a time (like
Ramana mentioned).
