* Currying in JS. Uses the following rules | |
* where f = function to curry, n = args passed, m = args function takes: | |
* 1. If n == 0 return f | |
* 2. If n < m return curried f with n args | |
* 3. If n == m call f with args. If the result is a function, curry result. | |
Finally, return result. | |
* 4. If n > m call f with the first n args. If the result is a function, curry | |
* it and apply remaining args to result. Finally, return function. | |
* | |
* Rules lifted from this great answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/27996545/983194 | |
* | |
* curry :: (* -> a) -> (* -> a) | |
