Hello, in a desperate desire of using partial function application in R I fried out the following piece of code:
bind <- function( f, ... ) { args <- list(...) function(...) f( ..., unlist(args) ) } Its purpose, if not clear, is to return a function with part of its arguments bound to specific values, so that I can for example create and use functions like this: q1 <- bind( quantile, 0.25 ) lapply( some_list, q1 ) It's been a lot of work and unfortunately is not perfect. My bind applies arguments only using positional rule. What I dream of is a function bind2 that would apply keyword arguments, like: plot_lines <- bind2( plot, type="l" ) which would return function(...) plot( type="l", ... ) How to do this in R?
