functools introduces partial function. As I can see from the implementation,
partial functions are instance of `partial` class, and that __call__ is used to
"emulate" a function call.
On the other hand I guess people usually treat those as ordinary functions.
The thing here is that for functions people expect to see the __name__
attribute defined and it can be useful in many cases.
Why partial does not have a __name__ property and why is it not a good idea to
add one?
