["Laugh while you can monkey boy."]
On page 29 of the Berkeley FP Users Manual, Rev. 4.1 I find the sentence
>> The binary-to-unary functions [sic] ('bu') has been omitted.
No explanation or illuminating commentary is offered. It doesn't appear
to me to be all that complex to implement 'bu'. Am I missing something subtle?
Or is it the case that the Berkeley implementors didn't feel this sort of
function is useful?
While we're on this subject, I wonder why Backus includes the function
'bu' when a more general currying function might be desirable.
Any comments?
