I think it’s reasonable to allow passing more arguments to a partial since
user-defined functions and closures allow this without error.
Whether or not the extra arguments are automatically forwarded to the function
wrapped by the partial is debatable.
Consider `function foo(int $x, int $y, int $z) {}` with a partial defined as
`$partial = foo(?, 42)`.
If the partial is called as `$partial(73, 8)`, should 8 be forwarded to `$z` or
should the call error as providing too few arguments? Or perhaps should the
partial declaration should error, as it should have been `foo(?, 42, ?)` or
`foo(?, 42, ...?) so the partial provided all required arguments to foo.
